Some debug functions that have should never have been exported were
removed from production builds a few months ago (src/debug.c).  It's
highly unlikely anybody was using them, but I wanted to stick with the
rules defined in libtool-version.  Here's the ChangeLog entry...

2011-02-11  Anthony Green  <green@moxielogic.com>

	* libtool-version: Update.
	* Makefile.am (nodist_libffi_la_SOURCES): Add src/debug.c if
	FFI_DEBUG.
	(libffi_la_SOURCES): Remove src/debug.c
	(EXTRA_DIST): Add src/debug.c
	* Makefile.in: Rebuilt.
