[issue33063] failed to build _ctypes: undefined reference to `ffi_closure_FASTCALL'

[Zachary Ware]

Zachary Ware  added the comment:

The bundled version of libffi is no longer included in any version in bugfix 
support; closing this as out of date.  As suggested in an earlier message, the 
libffi from your system should be used instead if you're building a version of 
Python that still includes a copy of libffi.

Zachary Ware  added the comment:

Your better option is to install libffi-devel (or whatever the correct name is 
) on your system and use `./configure --with-system-ffi`.  This is the default 
in 3.6 and the only option in 3.7 (on any platform but Windows and macOS).

[Siming Yuan]

Siming Yuan  added the comment:

tested again with Python 3.4.8 and the bug is observed. patch & builds fine.

strangely, tested building python 3.6.4 on the same environment without patch, 
no issues, even though the ffi.c code is exactly the same.

[issue33063] failed to build _ctypes: undefined reference to `ffi_closure_FASTCALL'

[Siming Yuan]

New submission from Siming Yuan :

compiling Python 3.5.5 under RHEL 6.4, 32-bit:

build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.5/opt/python/Python-3.5.5/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.o:
 In function `ffi_prep_closure_loc':
/opt/python/Python-3.5.5/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.c:678: undefined 
reference to `ffi_closure_FASTCALL'
/usr/bin/ld: 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.5/opt/python/Python-3.5.5/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.o:
 relocation R_386_GOTOFF against undefined hidden symbol `ffi_closure_FASTCALL' 
can not be used when making a shared object
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value


related to https://bugs.python.org/issue23042 - but it seems like the patch for 
x86/ffi.c never made it to release.
