Did you verify that it is actually using the proper version?

You need to make sure 100% that this version fixes it while the
libffi.so.8.1.0 from the Debian package causes the crash.

Also, can you check whether passing "--disable-exec-static-tramp"
makes a difference?

We need to find out why the Debian package causes SIGILL and we
still don't know why. It gets particularly strange when the issue
cannot be reproduced with the upstream source.
