I tested on OpenBSD (latest I think) on x86-32 with libffi. I had no 
possibility yet to test on sparc. perhaps I was using ffcall there, 
actually I think it is the last platform where I use it (well on windows 
too, but there libffi should work fine too, I just do it because I'm lazy).

I shall test sudoku on windows.
