We package libffi as it is in the shared sourceware tree. If someone needs
something else he needs to package it himself (in a way that it doesn't
conflict with libffi43 from the gcc package). The gcc team does not generally
package random things.
Before doing that, though, consider that the GCC libffi is the most used
and hence usually more fixed version of libffi. In fact SVN gcc libffi
contains many changes that the currently released libffi (3.0.8) does not
contain (despite that release being newer). So simply wait until we have
gcc44 and hence libffi44 in STABLE.
(To see this, compare
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libffi/ChangeLog?cvsroot=libffi
vs.
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libffi/ChangeLog?view=log)
Reassigning to Vincent for consideration (I suggest to close this report).
