Comment (by igloo):
I've just done a little more digging. It looks like only the `i386
-unknown-linux-libedit2` build needs libffi, which is due to a combination
of two things:
* The Debian ghc6 package that it was built with uses the system libffi
rather than the in-tree libffi
* `ifBuildable` is built with the bootstrapping compiler rather than the
in-tree compiler
If we make a 6.10.3 then we should fix the last point. For 6.12, this is
done differently in the new build system, and the `libedit2` builds won't
be needed for 6.12 anyway (as we won't be using libedit).
