FYI, since gforth depends on libffcall:
Available at
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libffcall/libffcall-2.0.tar.gz
New in 2.0:
* The package now installs a library libffcall.{a,so}. It contains the
'avcall' and 'callback' packages. The libraries libavcall.{a,so} and
libcallback.{a,so} are still installed as well, but are deprecated.
* The installed libraries are now installed as shared libraries by default
(except for libvacall, which is still a static library only).
* The installed shared libraries are now properly versioned. This means that
when installing with --enable-shared, upgrading to a newer version of
libffcall will not break existing binaries.
* The installed include files are now platform independent. This means that
you can now install libffcall for different ABIs on the same system, using
the same --prefix option but different --exec-prefix options for each ABI.
* API changes in <trampoline.h>:
- The second argument of alloc_trampoline() is now a 'void**', rather
than a 'void*'.
- The return value of trampoline_variable() is now a 'void**', rather
than a 'void*'.
- The argument of trampoline_address(), trampoline_variable(),
trampoline_data() is now a function pointer instead of a 'void*'.
* Fixed a bug regarding floating-point arguments followed by
non-floating-point arguments on the following platforms:
- arm: Linux 32-bit, with hardware floats.
- powerpc: Linux 32-bit.
- s390: Linux.
* Fixed a bug regarding structure returns on the following platforms:
- i386: FreeBSD.
- i386: MinGW.
- mips: old 32-bit ABI (Linux, IRIX).
* Added support for the following platforms:
(Previously, a build on these platforms failed.)
- i386: MSVC 14.
- x86_64: Cygwin.
- x86_64: MinGW.
- x86_64: MSVC 14.
- hppa64: HP-UX 11.
- m68k: Linux.
