------- Additional Comments From tcallawa at redhat.com  2008-02-06 10:24 EST -------
One of my pending applications (gambas2) needs it. g-wrap needs it. That in and
of itself says that there is a need for this library to be packaged system-wide,
rather than buried in multiple copies of individual packages. The security
concerns around that are enough reason to separate it.

I would prefer to see this generated out of GCC, but barring that, I'll maintain
it myself. It builds fine (and works fine) as a standalone library.

Also, I think you're misinterpreting what Jakub said. He said that he believes
that libffi should be packaged separately from gcc for other packages to use,
which is precisely what I'm doing here. I'm adding Jakub to the CC on this bug,
so that he can either confirm or deny this. :)
