Yes, that fixed it, at least on sage.math. New spkg up. Differences:

By the way, I deleted the directory src/src/libffi directory, and this
gives a warning during configuration:
{{{
checking for ffi_closure_alloc in -lffi... no
checking whether we can use the existing libffi library ... no
configure: Configuring included libffi library:
/scratch/palmieri/ECL/sage-4.7.2/spkg/build/ecl-11.1.2.git.20111030.p0/src/src/configure:
line 7012:

No such file or directory
configure: WARNING: Unable to configure or find libffi library; disabling

}}}
I wonder if we should configure using `--with-dffi=no` on all platforms?
Or perhaps I shouldn't delete the directory. In William's package:
{{{
$ du -s -h src
44M src
$ du -s -h src/src/libffi/
7.2M src/src/libffi/
}}}
So it takes a fair amount of room...
