Today I did a clean build and install of the trunk, and I noticed that
libffi is not installed.
I see this in the top-level Makefile.in:
# Dummy target for uninstallable.
install-target-libffi:
I'd prefer it if libffi install decisions were left up to the libffi
Makefile.

Perhaps the original idea was the people who wanted libffi installed would
have it installed from an actual libffi release, not the copy of the
libffi tree imported into the GCC tree? (When there was a separate libffi
tree used for actual development and releases.)

This reproduced existing behavior prior to my cleanups; I found that
several subdirectories were never installed and reproduced that.
If libffi provides a functioning "install" target (even if it's a dummy target
which does nothing) this can be removed safely.
Note the following line in Makefile.def:
target_modules = { module= libffi; no_install=true; };
Just remove the "no_install=true;" and regenerate Makefile.in if you
want libffi to be installable. Happy?
