cBanana is an optional C implementation of the regular pure-python
banana. You don't need it.  I guess for now you can just hack setup.py
and comment out the section that looks like this:

setup_args['ext_modules'] = [
    Extension("twisted.spread.cBanana",
[extpath("twisted/spread/cBanana.c")]),
    ]

It doesn't require one, but apparently the setup scripts barf if you
don't have one.
