Also, I do not have the time to work on it, although it requires a bit
of work:
* switch to "new" upstream (recommending to grab CVS tarballs) at
    http://www.gnu.org/software/libffcall/
* a bunch of opened issues (parallel make/install, ldflags, execstacks,
...):
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ffcall

So if you are interested, please add yourself to metadata.xml (and remove gnustep herd) and start bug sqashing. As a bonus, you will still have a
backup
herd (common-lisp), thoug a real maintainer would be great

Reverse RDEPEND for dev-libs/ffcall:
    dev-lang/gforth-0.7.0
dev-lisp/clisp-2.47-r1 dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r1 dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r2
    gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.20.1:!libffi
    gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.0-r1:!libffi


libffi should be a full replacement and more widely adapted variant.
isn't it time to let this simply fade away (lastrite)?

Well, after checking gforth, it looks like it supports both, through automagic
dependencies in configure, so it is fixable. But clisp still has a hard
depend on ffcall, and no support for libffi
