Description Ross Drummond 2011-11-01 21:27:06 UTC

During configure phase ebuild fails due missing dependency.

cchecking for libffi >= 3.0.9... Requested 'libffi >= 3.0.9' but version of libffi is 3.0.8

Separately emerging to the latest stable version of dev-libs/libffi resolves this problem.

I recommend that the maintainers review the dependency in the firefox ebuild.
