Borked systems (mine, for example). :-) I don't know why, but I could
not compile Chicken with libffi on my machine.  I may be wrong, but
I'm pretty sure it's a local problem, since I could build it fine on
another system.  Anyway, using configure's --without-libffi I could at
least have a running Chicken.

Best wishes,
Mario
