I use --with-system-ffi option, but setup.py fails to find headers of
system libffi which are placed outside standard include directory,
which causes using of internal copy of libffi.

In Gentoo, headers of libffi-3.0.8 are installed into
/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.8/include directory, because their content is
specific to given architecture.

I'm attaching the patch which cause using of `pkg-config libffi --
(Unfortunately subprocess module cannot be used in setup.py, so I'm
using os.popen().)
