Hi,
both Debian and Fedora patch ghc to use the system-wide installed libffi,
as required by distribution policies:
http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/experimental/ghc/patches
/system-libffi
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ghc.git;a=blob;f=ghc-use-system-
libffi.patch
It would be helpful for us if we would not have to patch this, but rather
trigger this by a ./configure flag.
Thanks,
Joachim
