Thanks for your reply!  I have this:

configure:20626: checking for pkg-config
configure:20644: found /scratchbox/tools/bin/pkg-config
configure:20657: result: /scratchbox/tools/bin/pkg-config
configure:20674: checking for g-wrap-2.0-guile >= 1.9.4
configure:20678: result: yes
configure:20682: checking G_WRAP_CFLAGS
configure:20685: result: -std=gnu99  
configure:20688: checking G_WRAP_LIBS
configure:20691: result: -lgwrap-guile-runtime -lgwrap-core-runtime -lguile 
-lguile-ltdl -lcrypt -lm -lffi  

So it looks like there is some incantation which I missed when
building g-wrap, to cause it to build and install ffi under
/tmp/install/g-wrap-1.9.6.  Do you know what that might be?

Also, I would guess that the libs built by guile-gnome will end up
wanting to link (indirectly) to libffi, won't they?  So doesn't that
mean that libffi has to be installed in a more standard location than
/tmp/install/g-wrap-1.9.6?
