This would be a new interpretation of the license. The whole autotools chain is GPL and it is used on way too many programs which are not GPL. They're so many I won't even mention one. Anyway, IANAL, so if you're really concerned you can mail the FSF and ask clarifications. BTW, by your reading, libffi itself would be a GPL violation.
