Comment:
The current patch for ghc-7.0.4 to use system libffi in Debian and Fedora
looks like this:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ghc.git;a=blob;f=ghc-use-system-
libffi.patch
(The patch needs reformatting for 7.2.1: I can attach a newer patch,
but anyway I think the current form needs more work if this is going to be
build option.)
