This just looks like libffi isn't being linked to guile at all.  Can you 
verify that libffi was actually built and installed in the right place?  
Next, I would see what "CCLD guile" is really doing.  I'm not sure how 
guile is built these days, but maybe you just have to add V=1 to the 
"make" command line.
