After installing (the latest, as of 27 Dec 2022) patched version of pypy3.9 (as in #3865), pypy starts as expected.
However importing certain modules cause failure with a missing symbol.

$ pypy3.9 -m ensurepip
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _ffi_closure_alloc
  Referenced from: /Users/mmckerns/src/pypy3.9-v7.3.10-macos_x86_64/bin/libpypy3.9-c.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

OS is MacOS 10.14.6. The same error occurs for pypy2.7 and pypy3.8.

The same error occurred when running a script that started with:

import glob
import os
import sys
import subprocess

(if this doesn't trigger the error, I can provide more of the script).
