Comment(by juhpetersen):
Disappointed to see the priority of this being lowered...
Lack of system libffi support in ghc is currently blocking me from
building ghc-7.4.1 for Fedora.
(There were quite a lot of changes in handling of libffi from 7.2 to 7.4.)
Debian and Fedora are both keen to see support for system libffi
integrated into ghc's buildsystem.
