I don't think we want this change on the 4.1 branch.  In fact I am
not entirely convinced this particular fix (libffi) is correct.  libffi
is used in separate projects as well, so separate packaging creates
interesting dependencies if you use different compilers (though
you can of course copy the headers around for this case).

The solution for this is either not installing it or renaming the file
like libgcj42.pc - we cannot move it.

Final?  I think ada is also broken.

They do.  info pages don't.  Likewise translation files.  And ada does
not honour it and installs unversioned (yay) shared libraries.
