There's build problems with libffi bundled with python, on mipsel, as

But I don't have a MIPS myself to test this patch, I've only converted it from the python's upstream patch since the configure.ac is same.

I looked briefly at these bug systems, but still don't really understand the problem. It looks like this change works around a problem in Python's ctypes. Is this right? Can you point me at something that explains the problem?

In other words: Completely untested.

Thanks, Samuli
