"pip install lxml" fails on pypy

[Armin Rigo]

"pip install lxml" fails on pypy. It is new in 3.5.0: "pip install lxml==3.4.4" still works. Tested on two 64-bit Linux machines with the latest PyPy 4.0.1. The error list is very long, but they seem all to be of the following kind:

src/lxml/lxml.objectify.c:890:68: error: 'PyThreadState {aka struct _ts}' has no member named 'c_tracefunc'
                   (tstate->c_profilefunc || (CYTHON_TRACE && tstate->c_tracefunc))) {\
                                                                    ^

The problem shows up if we rebuild the Cython files or not (with the most recent "pip install cython"), and doesn't show up even if we rebuild the lxml==3.4.4 Cython files with the same Cython, so it doesn't look like a Cython issue.

I assume this was already fixed in a later version, somewhere along the way. Profiling support should not be included for lxml releases, and should also be disabled by default for PyPy.
