Libffi-3.0.10 fails on OS X 10.7

Libffi-3.0.10 fails on OS X 10.7

[Hans Aberg]

[I am not on this list, so please cc me.]

Libffi-3.0.10 fails on OS X 10.7.2, with Xcode 4.2, i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1; 'make' gives:
MAKE x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0 :        0 * all-all
make: *** [all-all] Error 1

One can, however, do
  cd x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0
and then do 'make' there.

Libffi-3.0.9 compiles in this configuration.

Also, 'make pdf' fails in both libffi versions.

Are you building outside the source tree? Is there more to the error? I recently saw a cryptically short error like this & it was due to building in the source tree instead of out. Maybe it is a Makefile bug worth fixing, maybe not.

In both, I just do ./configure && make within the unpacked distribution. Probably just a simple Makefile bug (see debug output below from libffi-3.0.10).

It would be nice to able to do 'make pdf' as well.

Mine is probably just a Makefile bug, but I noticed that the guile 2.0.3 libffi test failed using libffi-3.0.9. I have just reported it, so I do not know much about it.

I just committed a couple of darwin11 fixes from Kimura Wataru.  Please 
try again with the latest code from the git tree 
(http://github.com/atgreen/libffi).

I'll look into this today.
