Arfrever and/or Gentoo devs: please change severity to major.

This is a serious bug - the pygobject configure is broken, and there is no way to disable libffi in pygobject if your gcc was build with ffi support. In particular, with no way to disable libffi in pygobject, it makes it quite difficult to work around bug 230782

nice catch, commited to the tree.
 Note that unified diff against ebuilds in tree are preferred over full ebuild.

oh and I've ignore --disable-gtk-doc because it's harmless, handled by the eclass and I don't want to skip things coming from the eclass.
