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.

I used Thomas' patch to avoid forgetting any place and produced the
thing I attach.  Can you test it with configure flags
--with-system-libffi --with-system-libsigsegv?

(regenerated files are not included in the patch)

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).
