Was having the same issue compiling python 3.7.1 against locally compilied libffi 3.2.1. 
Setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS was not enough and was still getting the same error: INFO: Could not locate ffi libs and/or headers
Everything worked as soon as i added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the location of the directory that had libffi.pc
For me that was /foo/bar/distrib/libffi-3.2.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 
Can test if it works with this:
pkg-config libffi --cflags-only-I
