Thank you for this tremendous effort, Dominik.

I'm not all that familiar with how GCC handles complex types on other
architectures, but hopefully they are as straight forward as on s390.

It would be nice if the complex test cases turned into expected failures
for platforms that don't have the back end support.

I've committed this patch to the libffi git repo.
