libffi 3.0.12 rc3 ready...

[Anthony Green]

Tons of great feedback so far, and the wiki is filling up....

http://moxielogic.org/wiki/index.php/Libffi_3.0.12


Here's release candidate 3.  Things should be slowing down now.
Still.. would love to get test results on Windows, MacOS, AVR32,
Blackfin, 32-bit MIPS, AArch64, Tile*, Xtensa, Alpha Linux, etc...

The 32-bit powerpc-linux results look good (zero failures now),
but the 64-bit powerpc64-linux results have 4 new failures with
the 4 new test cases introduced with rc3:

  cls_struct_va1.c
  cls_uint_va.c
  va_1.c
  va_struct1.c

These seem to match the 64-bit XL powerpc-aix results you posted.
I'm guessing the failure is the same, since powerpc64-linux and
the 64-bit AIX ABIs are almost identical.

built and no test failures on the Hurd, kfreebsd-{amd64,i386}, Linux armeabi
(soft and hard float), sparc, s390, i386, amd64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ia64, x32

sh4 did build, but a build log is missing.

ppc64, s390x, sparc64: 20 test failures (the same)

for mips/mipsel, I see 35 test failures with -mabi=n32 and -m64.

alpha: 8 test failures

build logs at
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libffi&suite=experimental
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/package.php?p=libffi&suite=experimental

on all builds I see

/bin/bash: ../../libtool-ldflags: No such file or directory

to have it working for the standalone release and the GCC copy, maybe use

should be
$(firstword $(wildcard $(top_srcdir)/libtool-ldflags
$(top_srcdir)/../libtool-ldflags)) $(LDFLAGS)
