I am using AIX 5.3 xlc 9.0.  I am unable to get the libffi section to
build.  It also happens with the separate libffi code, so I will try to
report there as well.  I get the following:

cc_r -qlanglvl=extc89 -DNDEBUG -O -I.

Can you provide a patch? If not, chances are high that no action is taken.
