Summary:  gnustep-base-1.9.1: nsconnection_client fails on win32 using ffcall

Original Submission:  On win32, it's possible to compile gnustep-base with 
ffcall and libffi using cygwin or MinGW.

When using ffcall, the Test nsconnection_client fails on both systems when 
sending the (large) struct:
Struct:
2004-03-23 22:42:11.117 nsconnection_client[3132] File GSFFCallInvocation.m: 856
. In GSInvocationCallback Changed type signature '{_foo=cdi*L}40@0:4{_foo=cdi*L}
8' to '{_foo=cdi*L}48@4:8{_foo=cdi*L}16' for 'sendStruct:'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

(This is cygwins output, but except for the last line, MinGWs is similar)

nsconnection_client works if the library was compiled with libffi.

nsconnection_server works at least on MinGW.

Thank you, Carl Eugen Hoyos, ce AT hoyos DOT ws
