I cleaned everything up and had the same issue. This time I investigated a
bit.

The Makefile.am refers to FFI_CFLAGS and FFI_LIBS, but I don't see any
reference to them and there's no PKG_CHECK_MODULES or anything that could
define those in configure.ac or any m4 macro.

Adding PKG_CHECK_MODULES line solved the issue:

    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FFI, libffi >= 3.3.0)

In 0.8.0-a.2 I guess libffi was really not used yet and as long as you had
the header file you were fine.

Let me know if this makes sense or if I'm missing something.

Thank you!
