[Bug other/16141] New: libffi configure script fails with test(1) error

["skunk at iskunk dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Bootstrapping GCC 3.4.0 on a Tru64 4.0 system fails when configuring libffi:

  ...
  checking whether the C compiler ([SNIP]) works... yes
  checking whether the C compiler ([SNIP]) is a cross-compiler... no
  checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
  checking whether [SNIP] accepts -g... (cached) yes
  /mnt/freeport/src/gcc/gcc-3.4.0/libffi/configure: test: argument expected
  gmake: *** [configure-target-libffi] Error 1
  drum.xxxxxxxx.com>

This is caused by the use of unquoted shell variables in the
AC_FUNC_MMAP_BLACKLIST macro, defined in gcc/libffi/acinclude.m4. I will attempt
to attach a patch.

(Aside: Shouldn't libffi be listed as a component in Bugzilla? My understanding
was that this library is now maintained as part of GCC.)
