Hi,
libffi-3.0.10 fails to build on several platforms, when configured with
$ ./configure --prefix=/some/dir
This violates the GNU Coding Standards.
On OpenBSD 4.6/SPARC64:

The following command caused the error:
HOST="" \

; for i in $BUILD ; do test ".$i" = "." && continue \

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-all'
$ gmake
MAKE x86_64-pc-solaris2.11 : 0 * all-all
gmake: *** [all-all] Error 1
The workaround is to pass the option --disable-builddir.
Apparently this is a bug in the ax_enable_builddir.m4 file that libffi
has imported from the autoconf-archive.
Find attached the top-level Makefiles that were generated on the various
platforms.
