compiling on of the regress tests manually with (egcc is gcc 4.2.4):

/usr/local/bin/egcc libffi.call/closure_fn0.c  -O0 -W -Wall -I../include/ -L ../.libs/ -lffi -lm -o a.out 

gives me:

libffi.call/ffitest.h:8:23: error: fficonfig.h: No such file or directory

which makes sense, as the topdir isn't in the include path of the
compile command, and fficonfig.h isn't in the -I../include/ but in -I../
(topdir).

then compiling with the added -I../ works, although it segfaults at run
time, and i cannot get a proper backtrace.
