I'd like to check my patch in. Thanks.

I totally agree with your and Anthony's suggestion about the approvement 
for libffi changes, though in this specific case I hesitate over because
sh64-linux is for the SHmedia processor with a new and very different ISA
from the other SH family and I'm rather new to SHmedia.
So I thought and still think that it would be nice if SHmedia experts see
my patch.

BTW, libjava works to some extent with the sjlj configuration using this
libffi port. I'll report it to the java list.
