Comment:
The patch validates on Linux with and without the new flag {{{--with-
system-libffi}}}. Please validate on MacOS and Windows before pushing. I
tried to validate on MacOS but failed to compile ghc-7.6 branch without
the patch.
The patch adds three flags to configure:
{{{--with-system-libffi}}} use system provided libffi
{{{--with-ffi-includes}}} find includes for libffi in non-standard
directory
{{{--with-ffi-libraries}}} find libraries for libffi in non-standard
directory
