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.
