This ticket is to continue work on comment 19 to ticket #5743.
The issue is only relevant if you wish to use a system provided libffi
rather than the in-tree libffi.
PHO's comment[http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5743#comment:19]:
> ... If I understand this correctly, rts/libs.depend contains only -l
flags so -L$(FFILibDir) won't be passed to the linker.

>Apart from that, $(rts_LD_OPTS) seems to be ignored too.
