1) dev-libs/libffi fails to build (build log to follow shortly) It isn't currently keyworded for HPPA and related USE flags (gcj) have been masked. 2) USE=libffi sys-devel/gcc fails to build (dito) libffi has been p.u.masked

The libffi configure script (in gcc 4.1.2 at least) recognises hppa-*-linux* but not hppa2.0-; I have no idea whether that's just an oversight or a genuine incompatibility. If someone with hppa hardware wants to try patching it, one of the demo scripts from x11-libs/gtk-server (installed in /usr/share/doc) would be an easy way to test, although probably not comprehensive.
gcc-4.3 seems to have had the configure script changed to recognized hppa*-*-linux* Could one of the hppa folks please retest?
