BUG: gnustep-base failing configure step on ffcall

You have ffcall, but it does not work properly. Most likely because your're system's security policy is blocking some parts of ffcall we recommend installing libffi instead. GNUstep requires ffcall or libffi and proper libobjc hooks to do invocations and DO. (This does not apply on apple-apple-apple systems where DO is not compatible with other GNUstep systems.)

You most likely do not want to build base without DO support. Many things, including all applications, won't work at all without DO. If you really want to build -base without DO support, add --disable-do to the configure arguments. For more information, read the GNUstep build guide, ffcall section: ​http://gnustep.made-it.com/BuildGuide/index.html configure: error: Incomplete support for ffi functionality.

I've tried to build the +with_ffi variant of gnustep-base, but it does not work either. It fails with an altogether different error:
