The normal build should not have any warnings.  The source for libffi included some comparisons between signed int and unsigned int, which caused warnings.

The patch changes the signed int variables to unsigned int.

Steve: libffi is an upstream project, so technically they should be the ones to patch it.  However, we do sometimes patch our own copy anyway and just keep the diff around.

Nosying doko as the guy who usually gets stuck handling libffi upgrades and will know better how to handle this.

A slightly different version of the patch is now part of upstream libffi: https://github.com/libffi/libffi/commit/4a677a425c18eda4bc5357b2485da57f133f908d

Thanks for the report Steve.
