You can gather it from here. Since it did not fail the linking, it means
it found the .so in the -L directory.

$ ls -l /opt/csw/lib/ffi
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  root  19 Aug 23  2012 libffi.so -> ../libffi.so.5.0.10

That, however, is odd. What it should be saying is that it's not finding
the library, since you've not put -R above. That means you have tinkered
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or some such, and you are not telling us.

Could you please copy-paste EVERYTHING you've done, instead of trying to
hide stuff?
What is the output of "ldd a.out"? And also, please post the content of
config.ffi.c.

No. That has nothing to do with it.
