libffi supports m68k, but uses specific cacheflush syscalls that FreeMiNT doesn't support. So it needs a specific FreeMiNT patch. Additionally, it seems that 68020 or higher is required, whereas some of our targets in FreeMiNT are 68000 processors. So some of the m68k assembly code needs re-writing for this. Alan.
