I agree with Anthony: libffi has never been part of gcc.

I agree with Anthony: libffi is not a part of gcc, and never has been.

We need a separate package because

1.  We need to decouple the release cycle of libffi from that of gcc.
Having to ask jakub to rebuild the whole gcc package for a small 
libffi change is a big nuisance.

2.  jakub has made it plain that he doesn't want to build a libffi
sub-package of gcc.
