There's a good chance that ffcall is, for all intents and purposes,
unmaintained, although people do still regularly use it.  Libffi is a
little less "popular", but for our ends, it is really the only choice.
   Sadly, the gcc build process doesn't compile it unless java and c++
are enabled, but if the target is only "install-target-libffi", it
only increased the build time from 1 minute to 7, and not to ~35
minutes for the entire gcc w/ java.

Does anyone know if the different arch testing machines available can
host remote X sessions?  If so, I really should get in touch with the
maintainer of the amd64 machine, and get to the root of the issues
with the GNUstep core library and amd64.  So far, gdb backtraces on
that arch have died in the same function, so I'm crossing my fingers
it remains only that one.
