>Description:
devel/libffi breaks at configuration stage, when trying to
compile test programs with "cc -maout", it bails out with
"your cc doesn't work" diagnostic message.
There's no a.out support in FreeBSD 6.

libffi is rather critical package, since many tools (e.g.
programming language interpreters) depend on it.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd devel/libffi && bmake configure

>Fix:
Apply the patch below to work around:
