 The `rts` should explicitly depend on `ffi.h` and `ffitarget.h`, then use
 this path to copy in these two header files itself rather than relying on
 the libffi build rule to copy them into the `rts/build` directory.

 You can see this happening in `Rules.Libffi.libffiRules`

 This often results in a failure where the `rts` rule will fail to produce
 these files after deleting build products in `_build`.
