Cross-compiling the interpreter for a system without a definition for ssize_t fails in PyType_FromSpec (Object/typeobject.c:2380 in the 3.2.3 release, line 2409 in hg 6b8f34a1cb22).

It appears the type of len should be corrected to size_t to match the signatures of strlen and memcpy.  This fixes the compilation error.
