Hmm... that's related to a patch I dropped... I wanted to submit a
patch to have libffi build as a target library after I submitted the
patch to have boehm-gc be build with libobjc with garbage collection
without having to build java.
But then I had decided that making libffi a target library is not
really
the final solution. The solution would be to implement message
forwarding in libobjc proper.
But I still think that you should be able to build libffi stand
alone...
at least you used to be able to...
/me updates gcc tree
/me creates a build directory
/me invokes '../trunk/libffi/configure'
/me invokes 'make' (not make bootstrap!)
and libffi builds... now 'make check' indeed fails as I believe it
does
require building the full gcc tree. Also I did not install it. But
what issues did you have building libffi without gcc?
