> Gentoo, for example, allws multiple libffi headers in the following
locations:
> /usr/lib64/libffi-3.0.11/include/ffi.h
> /usr/lib64/libffi-3.0.11/include/ffitarget.h
I will add a new option to ./configure called --with-system-libffi and
have an optional
parameter for it so you can specify which library/module you want to use
for ffi.
Is that what you had in mind?
