| According to my reading of the code, it doesn't use libffi on x86-linux, |
| 12 |
| ppc-linux and ppc-darwin, but does on all other platforms. In any |
| 13 |
case, it |
| 14 |
| should be fine with the libffi in gcc, it's just a case of the maintainer |
| 15 |
| finding time to update the ebuild. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It used to strictly depend on libffi for some earlier versions of |
| 18 |
squeak, so the DEPEND was there long before I added myself as the |
| 19 |
maintainer of the package. |

It isn't needed right now _unless_ you have squeak packages requiring so |
| 22 |
(and we don't have those in the tree), so it is safe to remove such a |
| 23 |
dependency and probably add a libffi USE flag conditional for those |
| 24 |
willing to use the GCC one. |
