Description
Recently, I've observed the test suite hanging in Travis on test_develop.py on test 6. Travis ends up killing the process after 10 minutes.
Here's one example.
The first incident can be found in this build, which reports pypy 5.8.0-beta0. But going back through the dozens of prior builds that succeeded, there was no change in pypy.
That failing test is already skipped in AppVeyor as reported in #851. And that test makes two calls to subprocess.check_call which may be unreliable on PyPy3 as well.

Research direction
Start with setuptools/tests/test_develop.py at the failing test around line 158, then compare the Travis examples and the AppVeyor skip noted in #851. Investigate the two subprocess.check_call calls under PyPy3; done means the test suite no longer hangs there and the relevant tests complete successfully.
