Sure, of course. There are a number of problems in the Makefile(s) for a system not using gcc and where CFLAGS and LD_foo is pretty important. Certainly where the RPATH and RUNPATH in the resultant ELF output binaries really really matters. So yes, sure.

If there were such a thing as system libffi then I would give that a try but for now I am on my own and will need to everything from sources. > Also note that unless you specifically need ctypes (or are > building for someone who might) Well, strictly speaking, I don't. However someone else may and I have to roll this out to a pile of systems eventually. For now it is just internal on my build servers. > it may not be the end of the world for ctypes to not be available; Is there a configure option to disable them? I should look. > the overall build should not fail just due to a ctypes build failure. cool ... let's hope for the best.
