libobjc runs on many more platforms than libffi, so strictly requiring
libffi for libobjc would prevent you from using it on many platforms where
you can currently use it.

Of course it's doubtful that forwarding works on all those platforms using
libobjc's built-in implementation ... :-)

But Andrew's point is good - where libffi is available from the GCC
installation itself, it would be good for libobjc to use it.
