problem building libffi on x86-10 (fatal link error)

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi Laurent and Dago,

I think I made quite some big progress.

The only warning I get now is :
CHECKPKG_OVERRIDES_CSWlibffi-dev += 
wrong-docdir|expected=/opt/csw/shared/doc/libffi_dev/...|in-package=/opt/csw/share/doc/libffi_stub/license

Strangely I get this only on x86 and not sparc. What can I do about this?

Clear, there was some trickery to define what went into dev and not and 
it still had "5", thus the whole libraries went inside the dev package 
and thus the warnings.

Look here:
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/pkgdb/srv4/61c1ae8cdb575ab07b28220098f08944/

This looks fine, except his:

1 s none /opt/csw/lib/ffi/libffi.so=../libffi.so.6.0.4

I think this means that the "link" is in dev and not runtime. Is that 
correct? I suppose it can be considered something useful during linking 
and thus for developers.

Given that, may I commit what I have now? I have further questions about 
some parts in this receipe!

PS: Latest libffi says in the documentation that sun/oracle compiler is 
supported. Should I make a test? is its use preferred over GCC?
