#4496: use system libffi on Linux

ghc should not use its own internal copy of libffi on Linux at least.
Copy libs are frowned on by Linux distros. Debian has a patch
to use system libffi on ghc-6.12.3 which I am now porting to
ghc-7.0.1. I can attach it here but it probably needs to be
a build option and/or detected by configure.
