I have installed libffi-3.0.13 from source. The generated Makefile
tells me "toolexeclibdir = $(libdir)/../lib64", and the libraries seem
to have installed there. However, the .pc file that gets installed
tells pkg-config to tell ld to look in "libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib".
Hence, ld cannot find -lffi when I go to compile something with "gcc
`pkg-config --libs --cflags libffi`". I can workaround this by
copying the contents of lib64 to lib, but this seems silly and broken.
In addition to wanting this bug to be fixed, I'm curious to know
where the Makefile gets lib64 from, because "grep lib64 *" tells me
that the only other appearance is configure:
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib64 /usr/lib64 /lib /usr/lib" (also
makefiles.out~, but I figure that's a temporary). If it's relevant,
uname -a tells me "Linux cagnode17 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Sep
23 13:49:30 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
Thanks,
Jason

When you configured, what was your --libdir argument?

I did not pass --libdir. I ran `./configure
--prefix="$HOME/.local64/" && make -j16 && make install -j16`

And what does
gcc -print-multi-os-directory
say?

Ah, indeed, that gives "../lib64". So I guess the .pc file should be
set up to use multi_os_directory or toolexeclibdir?

Yes. I don't thunk anything good can happen if your libdir
doesn't correspond with your multi-os-directory. This is all
really to do with autoconf and libtool; there's nothing much
libffi can do about it.
