dev-libs/libffi-3.4.2 (~arch) provides libffi.so.8. Looks like this package relies on libffi.so.7 and holds the update back.

Consider adding libffi-compat:7 as an alternative. One example to do it is to provide runtime alternative:

-       dev-libs/libffi:0/7
+       || ( dev-libs/libffi:0/7 dev-libs/libffi-compat:7 )

Thanks for the reports.  Will do in a minute.  I'll also make new bins with :8 later.
