FWIW, I did file a bug report with libffi's developers: https://sourceware.org/ml/libffi-discuss/2018/msg00033.html Mailing list and contact info here: https://sourceware.org/libffi/ However, there hasn't been any reply, so far. At the very least, maybe there should be a warning message about this issue on the LFS libffi page, including noting that it will typically manifest as a python illegal instruction crash, which can happen when building meson.
