Bug#217541: fficonfig.h bogus on x86

[Andreas Rottmann <rotty@debian.org>]

Package: libffi2-dev
Version: 1:3.3.2-1
Severity: important

Running this little test program on my Athlon (no, not an Athlon64 ;-)):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ffi.h>

int main ()
{
  printf ("&ffi_type_ulong: %p &ffi_type_uint64: %p\n", 
          &ffi_type_ulong, &ffi_type_uint64);
}

results in:

&ffi_type_ulong: 0x8049738 &ffi_type_uint64: 0x8049738

As you can easily see, the two pointers refer to the same object, which
means fficonfig.h #defines ffi_type_ulong to ffi_type_uint64, which is 
plain wrong on a 32bit platform.

Regards, Andy
