I'll repackage using the latest GAR release and get back to you if needed...

Well, I haven't tested my libffi on any other machine yet, so you might 
be right.
However, from what I've been reading, the only problem with SOS12 on 
Solaris8 is that dbx isn't that stable.


The implications of using Solaris9 for libffi is larger than just 
imagemagick.
libffi is a requirement for gobject-introspection (new package), which 
is a requirement for polkit (new package), which is a requirement for 
gconf2 (old package).
This means that building 64-bit packages that depend on gconf2 will only 
be possible on Solaris9, and there are a ton of packages depending on 
gconf2...

Nah, I've built one version which I have installed on my buildfarm and 
are waiting for you to finish your work.
Unless you need some help...
