I managed to translate most of libffi build rules to the new build system, see Rules/Libffi.hs, and now have a working build on Windows. I'm pretty sure we'll be coming back to this at some point, but I'll close this for now.

Please reopen this issue if you have any problems related to libffi.

Looks like we can successfully build libffi on OS X as well:

Excellent, thanks for testing. I was worried we might have some problems related to wc -w (see a missing piece of code in a bottom comment in Rules/Libffi.hs).

I think there is a lot of left over stuff in the build system, spanning multiple operating system versions. So comments might refer to previous systems. I'm testing with the latest OS X (10.11.2), so there might be issues on older versions. I would vote for, simplify and see if people complain, and once they complain figure out what the best solution is. Part of this project is to also modernize, streamline and remove cruft of the old build system, no?

Yes, I completely agree. That's why I try not to pull everything into the new build system. Some chunks appear to be dead code. If anyone starts to complain we'll bring the missing pieces back.
