Virtually all of the recent patches are already upstream.  Perhaps you 
are looking at the old cvs repository instead of the new git 
repository.   http://sourceware.org/libffi
I haven't deleted the old cvs repo though -- I just placed a 
LIBFFI-DEVELOPMENT-HAS-MOVED file in the top directory.  Perhaps I 
should just delete it all.

The last stand-alone release of libffi was made a week ago, and it 
included all of the latest patches from GCC (including your changes from 
December, David).  If people continue dropping changes into the GCC 
tree, I'll make sure they get "upstream".

Thanks!
