[Mingw-cross-env-list] Making gstreamer requires glib and glib is unable to find libffi

[Alan Leurck]

I've run into an issue when trying to create the gsteamer 1.0.3 suite of 
programs using the latest(master) from the git repository I downloaded 
this afternoon.  GStreamer requires glib and when trying to make glib, 
the libffi library is not found.  However, the library was created and 
is of the correct version (> 3.0).

I have found the following in the glib associated log directory.

        checking for LIBFFI... no
        configure: error: Package requirements (libffi >= 3.0.0) were not met:

        No package 'libffi' found

The libffi.a  library exists in my ~/mxe.git/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib as 
well as the libffi-3.0.11 directory with the header .h files.
Attached is the log file for the glib configure.

It would appear that the configure process is unable to locate this new 
library.
Any suggestions on how to resolve would be useful.
Thank you.
