Just built exactly such a pypy-c, revision 55678.

Works for me (well, all 6 tests fail, but it doesn't segfault).  I had to tweak
sqlalchemy/__init__.py, though, and I strongly suspect that you had to tweak it
too but forgot to mention it.  I can only guess the problem is some
system-specific thread stack size limit.  I don't know how to see or change the
default, but translator/c/src/thread_pthread.h seems to support a
THREAD_STACK_SIZE define, so maybe you can try recompiling the C source with a
value like 8388608 and see if it helps.

I have http://svn.sqlalchemy.org/sqlalchemy/trunk revision 4840
and http://codespeak.net/svn/user/fijal/pysqlite2 revision 55678.
Here are all my local changes:
