libffi 3.0.10rc4 available for testing

[Anthony Green]

I've posted rc4 is here:
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/libffi/libffi-3.0.10rc4.tar.gz

Changes this time round:

* configury changes to remove GCCisms for native AIX/Solaris/etc tool builds.

* running configure in the source directory automatically creates a
  target specific build subdir

* debug code is only built when --enable-debug

* a testing tweaks, and other minor changes

The iOS build is known to be broken and native windows / mingw is
completely untested, but I think we're in pretty good shape otherwise.
We just need more test results:

Thanks!

MinGW compilation succeed using rc3 and GCC 4.5.1 and 4.5.2. to run
test it request expect and tcl which is not part of the toolkit I'm
using, so will test with msysGit full installation (that contain these
tools) and report back soon.

Also cross compilation worked perfectly, except for the change of
binaries location, but that is already known.

Hello,
I compiled and installed rc4 with mingw+msys without problems.
I'm using the stable GCC 3.4.5 rather than the GCC 4.x builds.
No testing on the functionalities has been done (I do not know how to do 
it...).

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini
