Most Python implementations do not reimplement the stdlib, or at most a minor part of it, so that's right out of the discussion. Did you actually check?

Well, I know that Jython uses the original stdlib modules through svn:externals in the build, last thing I heard about IronPython was that they are allowed to use other people's code now, so I imagine they do the same thing, and I wouldn't expect PyPy to rewrite the existing Python code that exists in the stdlib. So the only remaining problem are the C extensions in CPython, and that's the minor part I mentioned above.
