Well technically libobjc doesn't depend on libffi (yet) so it isn't built as resource for libobjc as it is for java. And because it isn't considered a full fledged target library, you cannot enable it explicitly during a gcc build. Yet since you can build it separately, there is hardly any motivation to make it a full fledged target library. Now if libobjc started to implement method forwarding with libffi, then libffi will be build with libobjc just as it is currently build for java as you were expecting. [I'm just being this explicit for the archives].
