Hello.  I recently resumed making libffi releases.  In
Fedora, somebody
recently patched GNU Smalltalk to use the system's libffi
package.  I
think, however, that it was probably a hack.  It would be
nice if the
upstream project provided a configuration option to use the
system's
pre-installed libffi.  Thanks!

Great.  Thomas, can you send me the patch you use to select
the system
libsigsegv and (IIRC) libffi?

Thanks!

Hello, please find attached the patch we use for Debian.

That's also a quick hack. I will try to provide a better
patch later.

Hello,

I had no time to try this patch before today.

It had a small typo, see the attached patch (against the
previous patch
attached to this issue).
