There appears to be no way to get libffi to install to a predictable directory "out of the box", so we apply a small patch to Makefile.in. This is the same fix used in Gentoo's ebuild (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462814). }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9620#comment:12> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
