PyPy 5.6 has been released a few days ago: https://morepypy.blogspot.sk/2016/11/pypy27-v56-released-stdlib-2712-support.html
I'm starting the builds in a moment.

Created attachment 455544 [details] pypy-5.6.0.ebuild
Created attachment 455546 [details, diff] 5.6.0_all_distutils_cxx.patch
The issue is caused by deletion of -fPIC in sysconfig_pypy.py. Patch 5.6.0_all_distutils_cxx.patch fixes this. It enables PyPy 5.6.0 to build successfully on my machine. Aside from the patch: I have dev-python/cffi-1.9.0 installed, but dev-python/cffi-1.5.2 might also be compatible with PyPy 5.6.0.

Could you expand a little on the patch? I've reordered it and diffed to the old patch, and I see that you've removed the customize() calls. I suppose they do more harm than good but are you sure this doesn't break anything?
An alternative way of fixing the issue would be to extend 2.5.0_all_distutils_cxx.patch with the following lines: - command = compiler.executables[executable] + flags + command = getattr(compiler, executable) + flags The problem with the current 2.5.0_all_distutils_cxx.patch is that the new sysconfig_pypy.py uses strings while the original sysconfig_pypy.py uses lists of strings to represent commands. Function customize_compiler in 2.5.0_all_distutils_cxx.patch is examining CFLAGS twice - the second examination is redundant and in fact makes the first one pointless because the code has no effect on compiler.executables[executable].
