libffi on OpenBSD x86

I'm trying to build libffi on OpenBSD x86 3.5.

Adding this line to libffi/configure was easy:



but it seems the stack smashing protection that OpenBSD uses prevents
ffi_call from working correctly.
I found the -fno-stack-protector command line option for gcc, and
specifying this did the trick.

Now I'm not sure if there is a pragma which allows to disable the stack
protector from within the C source file, or should it be added to
libffi/configure somehow, or is there a way to pass this switch when
running libffi/configure?
