I would prefer to have someone with good libffi knowledge to chime in here.
It's easy to just revert the patch, but it may be even better to upgrade the
included libffi lib.
But probably not to 3.2.1, since this still has the same bug it seems:

Modules/_ctypes/libffi in branches 2.7, 3.4, default is currently a copy of
libffi 3.1.

Reading issue22634 suggests that perhaps this issue is not limited to FreeBSD
-- issue22634 appears to suffer the same behavior on RHEL 6.4 and 5.5 when
compiling to 32-bit (the -m32 compiler flag is being used there).
