I'd vote for an external libffi as well since python currently has to use it's bundled version of it (statically linking against it). Using libffi provided by gcc (and linking dynamically) is no option yet since portage doesn't protect the user from destroying his system by re-emerging gcc without gcj or libffi USE flags (rev-dep check and USE-based deps would be needed). -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
