This reproduced existing behavior prior to my cleanups; I found that 
several subdirectories were never installed and reproduced that.

If libffi provides a functioning "install" target (even if it's a dummy target 
which does nothing) this can be removed safely.

Note the following line in Makefile.def:

target_modules = { module= libffi; no_install=true; };

Just remove the "no_install=true;" and regenerate Makefile.in if you 
want libffi to be installable.  Happy?
