STINNER Victor added the comment:

To me, it doesn't make sense to maintain a downstream "fork" of libffi. I would 
prefer to "simply" upgrade to a more recent version of libffi in CPython. But I 
don't know why we have a downstream version. What was patched? Does anyone know 
anything about it?

I understood that Linux packages configure with ./configure 
--with-system-libffi to reuse the system libffi.so.

Who uses the downstream version? Windows? OS X?
