13 | The latest version of g-wrap (1.9.11) requires the external libffi
14 | released a month or two ago, because it looks for the pkgconfig file
15 | installed by that and not gcc:
16 |
17 | - libffi is no longer distributed with g-wrap, as it is available
18 | as a stand-alone package now (instead of being burried in the
19 | GCC sources).

23 I think we should use this unbundled libffi in favor of the one that will continue to be
24 bundled with gcc. A normal dep is nicer than a use dep on gcc with libffi for one. I don't
25 see any reason why this ``new'' libffi should become unmaintained again soon.
