Well, I'd prefer the solution where these are fixed so it works better
with BSD make, of course :)

The libffi part you merged looks ok. Are you in contact with the
authors? If so, could you please feed it upstream?

The installation path for the ffi headers changed from include/ to
lib/gcc/x86_64--netbsd/include. This doesn't really worry me, I just
thought I'd mention it.

But then, gnucash's configure doesn't like the version number:

checking for g-wrap - version >= 1.3.3... ERROR: Unbound variable: 1-RC1
no
configure: WARNING: guile check failed
configure: error:

  g-wrap does not appear to be installed correctly, or is not new
  enough.  GnuCash requires at least version 1.3.3 to build,
  and 1.9.6 to build cleanly with GCC4.  If you need to install g-wrap,
  you can find it at http://www.nongnu.org/g-wrap/ .
