Could you please help debugging this? I'm currently not at home and
don't have access to my Powerbook G4.
Please try building libffi from git as I'm still a bit skeptical that
Ricardo built the upstream version properly. I don't see any reason
why the regression shouldn't be a result of an upstream change but in
the Debian package as the Debian package doesn't do anything special.
$ apt build-dep libffi
$ git clone https://github.com/libffi/libffi.git
$ cd libffi
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
