Thanks for getting back to me.
(I think you mean `git clean -x -f -d`): I usually omit -x but I'll give
it a go and report back.
Before I got the issue on a clean checkout I thought it was something I
did to the build files.
I also tried building the latest release of libffi (v3.2.1) and using it
in configure with --with-ffi-includes and --with-ffi-libraries but got
the same error.

Yes, this commit indeed introduced the need for makeinfo, however after some
debugging and improved packaging of the external libffi library, this
dependency was removed again, and should not be required with the latest head
anymore.
Then again this should not result in link issues but rather in build time
issues.
The key to libffi is the libffi-tarballs git submodule, which contains the
packaged libffi-tarballs. Make sure all your submodules are also updated.
I usually use `git -x -f -d` (read the documentation first) to ensure a clean
working tree. Especially as you say you can’t reproduce it on other machines,
maybe there is a file in your tree that the cleaning did not catch?

Allow libffi snapshots
This is rather annoying. I'd prefer to have a stable release to
use. However libffi-3.2.1 has been released November 12, 2014, and
libffi-4 is TBD. See also https://github.com/libffi/libffi/issues/296
The core reason for this change is that llvm changed the supported
assembly to unified syntax, which libffi-3.2.1 does not use, and hence
fails to compile for arm with llvm. For refence, see the following
issue: https://github.com/libffi/libffi/issues/191.
This diff contains a script to generate a tarball for the
`libffi-tarballs` repository from the libffi GitHub repository; as well
as the necessary changes to the build system.
Updates libffi-tarballs submodule.

I can't reproduce it on my other linux computers though.

Anyone else getting linker errors?
This is after running
make clean && make distclean && find . -name "*.o" -type f -delete &&
find . -name "*.hi" -type f -delete
then
./boot && ./configure && make -j5
(ghc-new is not a new checkout, this error is happening on a branch I'm
working on, but one that doesn't touch the FFI)
I'm afraid I can't reproduce this. What platform/operating system is
this on?
Cheers,
