Description Dennis Schridde 2010-12-03 09:58:24 UTC 
ffi.h defines several generic symbols (like IA64), which likely clash with some packages. Please include [1] into the ebuild, to fix this problem.
(This is not a made-up problem, see [2].)

Reproducible: Always

Downloading [1] and deleting the last part which patches ChangeLog makes the patch apply and libffi build.
