Hi David,

The problem is that it has no meaning in libffi itself...
This patch is specific to gcc because the multilib part is specific
to gcc.
I'll ask the community but the patch cannot be merged inside
libffi.

Thanks,
Clément

Clement,

GCC is not the primary repository for libffi.  This patch must be
submitted to the libffi project first, not GCC.  If it is accepted in
libffi, then you can ask for a backport to GCC.
