I would also like to throw my support behind this modification/enhancement. This
is important/necessary for more than just java. GNUstep can use either libffi or
ffcall, and libffi is preferable for a number of reasons, but as of now it's a
massive pain in the ass to build because you have to check out way more than you
actually need. So the entire GNUstep community would benefit from this
modificaitons, as well as numerous other communities, including the pyobjc
community. I would prefer an --enable-libffi configure option as Andrew Pinski
suggests.
