libffi works fine on Windows.  You can easily find out where it works
by looking in gcc/libffi/configure.in.  There is a big case statement
that sets up the build for all the working platforms.

Things are a little different if you use the closure API.  Then you
have to look in gcc/libffi/include/ffi.h.in to see what platforms
define FFI_CLOSURES.

The "normal" API works on more platforms than the closure API.  I
think libffi works on all the Debian architectures except HPPA.
Nobody has ever done that port.
