| 1 | libffi-3.3 is mostly compatible with 3.2.x series. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | There are a few things to watch out: |
| 4 | - SONAME changed to .so.7: libffi ebuilds got SLOT=0/7 |
| 5 | You might want to add dependency against that to save |
| 6 | a @revdep-rebuild iteration. |
| 7 | - There was at least one minor API change in x86_64 supported |
| 8 | calling convention list. A few packages might break. See: |

| 16 | Please add newly discovered failures against that bug. |
| 17 | I hope to see low amount of failures. All should be easy to fix. |

| 19 | If there will be large fallout I'll mask libffi-3.3. |
