Or perhaps I shouldn't delete the directory.
`libffi` is installed on many systems, so we certainly shouldn't disable
it.

Much more worth is (also) removing the `gmp` directory, which at the
moment makes up half of the tarball; see #9493. One should at least add a
`TODO`, since people apparently tend to not look at other related tickets.

If you configure with `--enable-unicode=no` (you could also use
`--disable-unicode` btw.), you can completely remove the following two
directories (not just their contents):
{{{
src/contrib/encodings/
src/contrib/unicode/
}}}

If the patches are applied from `src/`, they should be applied (i.e., be
appliable) with `-p1` for consistency.
I also get
{{{
patching file src/c/ffi/libraries.d
Hunk #1 succeeded at 70 with fuzz 2 (offset 1 line).
}}}

`spkg-install` in whole needs some clean-up, for example all error
messages should go to `stderr`. If `MAKEFLAGS` are a problem on MacOS X,
they should be unset on MacOS X, not by default (and the comment is btw.
wrong or unrelated). We do not create a symbolic link to the ECL library,
but the ECL library directory, so the error message is wrong. ...

Ceterum censeo we should upgrage trac.
