libffi on FreeBSD/i386

Hello,

I tried to use libffi 3.0.1 on FreeBSD/i386, but the testsuite found some
problems. Basically they are related to the approach where functions
return small structs in eax and edx. The darwin port deals already with
this issue.

So I introduced a new system-dependent assembly code file:
src/x86/freebsd.S which is a copy of src/x86/sysv.S with some lines from
src/x86/darwin.S.

Now FreeBSD/i386 passes all tests. I attached a patch to this mail.

By the way, I found a further minor bug: I think the 'includesdir'
variable in include/Makefile.am should be set to '$(includedir)' or
something like that, but not '$(libdir)/...'

Regards
Björn
