Description
libffi should probably be updated to 3.0.10.
The patch we were using before doesn't seem to be needed anymore; I believe it was applied upstream on 2010-12-18.
Attached is a patch to update the port, and a log of what happens. It doesn't build at all. I don't know why.

With patch-configure.diff, I could get libffi to compile.
The explanation is that BSD wc and GNU wc have different outputs (BSD prepends spaces).
$ echo BSD | wc -w
1
$ echo GNU | gwc -w
1
This breaks the following string comparison test "$n" = "0". I replaced it with a numerical comparison.

Brilliant, thanks. Updated in r84201.
This part of the configure script actually comes from the included m4/ax_enable_builddir.m4; libffi 3.0.9 didn't have that file. I'll report the problem to the libffi-discuss mailing list, but we may also need to report it to the developers of ax_enable_builddir.m4.
