Looking in the included file that apparently should define 'FFI_DEFAULT_ABI' (src/runtime/libffi/src/powerpc/ffitarget.h), it looks like it requires 'POWERPC' to be defined, just as the x86 version of that file requires 'X86' to be defined, for it to define 'FFI_DEFAULT_ABI'. In build/ffih/ffi.h it appears to be defined (wrongly [for me]): /* Specify which architecture libffi is configured for. */ #define X86 By the way, these are the relevant symbols that my C preprocessor defines by default. I think 'X86', 'POWERPC', etc. were deliberately chosen so as not to be in this set though. $ echo '' | cpp -dM | grep -i 'ppc\|powerpc' #define __PPC__ 1 #define _ARCH_PPC 1 #define __powerpc__ 1 #define __PPC 1 #define __powerpc 1 #define PPC 1 #define powerpc 1 Isaac -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEzfIIHgcxvIWYTTURAkhJAJ4rEPdPfmm54DR8w38N5G48x1ItRgCfSpFZ o5K0z/eJkihTqlk7d5iupc0= =26Q6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
