It used to strictly depend on libffi for some earlier versions of squeak, so the DEPEND was there long before I added myself as the maintainer of the package. It isn't needed right now _unless_ you have squeak packages requiring so (and we don't have those in the tree), so it is safe to remove such a dependency and probably add a libffi USE flag conditional for those willing to use the GCC one.
