The only language that needs libffi for support of the programs in GCC is java, so it is only built
when java is selected. Maybe it can be built when --enable-libffi is done but it is not currently.
Also libffi is updated from upstream so GCC are not the official maintainers so maybe this should
be closed.

Objective-C or atleast GNUstep can also use libffi, so it is useful for
the GNUstep project.
Might it be useful to contact the upstream team for this, and if so who
should I contact for this.

Note GNUStep is not part of GCC.
Even though this page: <http://sources.redhat.com/libffi/> says it is largely maintained by GCC, it
is wrong.
>From libffi/README in the mainline of GCC:
This directory contains the libffi package, which is not part of GCC but
shipped with GCC as convenience.
So I think there is no upstream anymore, it looks like.

Okay, I counted on that being true :)
I'll will just use the libffi from Red Hat, and compile GCC without it.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: libffi only builds when java is selected as language
In fact, there's currently work in progress to make the GCC copy the master
version and merge any remaining changes from the sources.redhat.com
repository. At that time it is certainly appropriate to be able to build
and install libffi even without java.

Mine as work to get libobjc "modernized" or remove the builtin_apply "hacks".

I would also like to throw my support behind this modification/enhancement. This
is important/necessary for more than just java. GNUstep can use either libffi or
ffcall, and libffi is preferable for a number of reasons, but as of now it's a
massive pain in the ass to build because you have to check out way more than you
actually need. So the entire GNUstep community would benefit from this
modificaitons, as well as numerous other communities, including the pyobjc
community. I would prefer an --enable-libffi configure option as Andrew Pinski
suggests.

This might get into 4.0.0 because __builtin_apply is so broken on most targets that fails for most tests
already now on the mainline.
Patch here: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-12/msg00841.html>, just waiting for a global
write maintainer to approve it.

The patch has to be updated. I might do that this weekend.
