tested again with Python 3.4.8 and the bug is observed. patch & builds fine. strangely, tested building python 3.6.4 on the same environment without patch, no issues, even though the ffi.c code is exactly the same. |

edit - I do see this in python 3.6.4 on a different server when building 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.7 (Santiago) gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16) |

3.4 and 3.5 are in security release-only mode. |

Your better option is to install libffi-devel (or whatever the correct name is ) on your system and use `./configure --with-system-ffi`. This is the default in 3.6 and the only option in 3.7 (on any platform but Windows and macOS). |

interesting, didn't know that option existed. |

The bundled version of libffi is no longer included in any version in bugfix support; closing this as out of date. As suggested in an earlier message, the libffi from your system should be used instead if you're building a version of Python that still includes a copy of libffi. |
