But I already did (at least I think I did) fetch libffi from svn trunk:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libffi/

I even double fetched ffi.c and sysv.S and diff'ed them against my 
source (just to make sure).
Next, I printf-filled ffi.c in order to see that it indeed did get into 
my libgcj. Finally, I made a deliberate error in sysv.S, as well, to see 
that things wouldn't compile.
(Had to fetch "http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libffi/depcomp";, as 
well, to make things work, but that seem to be it - along with running 
config.status)

So I'm rather convinced that I tried libffi from svn trunk?!
