Thanks.

I'm minded to do a NMU of libffi using your revised cygport, but I 
notice that many tests fail on x86 (see [1]).  Is this expected, or does 
it indicate some problem there?

Hi John,

I'm not sure. So far I would not recommend to upgrade to libffi-3.4.3
for Cygwin i686.

Currently MSYS2 makes only builts for x86_64. The 32 bit version builts
are only MinGW variants.

Test for Cygwin on i686 is not in CI of libffi maintainer Anthony
Green, e.g.https://github.com/libffi/libffi/pull/728

Maybe you open an Issue on https://github.com/libffi/libffi/issues
Anthony Green is very responsive.

Thanks,
Hannes
