 Sorry to make it unclear.  I chose to cc the other mailing list with the 
libffi part of both submissions so as to give a chance to chime in to 
members of both communities.  We are quite tightly coupled with each other 
here after all and my experience over the many years I have been involved 
has been that the bits related to Autotools are often quite tricky and 
hard to get right (Autotools are fine tools in my experience, it's just 
you need to be thorough with them as they tend not to forgive a cursory 
approach).

 Thanks for your ack; it was my intent to get these upstream first, and I 
realise there can be changes requested that will require the GCC backport 
to be adjusted accordingly (and reviewed again).
