The latest version of g-wrap (1.9.11) requires the external libffi
released a month or two ago, because it looks for the pkgconfig file
installed by that and not gcc:

    - libffi is no longer distributed with g-wrap, as it is available
      as a stand-alone package now (instead of being burried in the
      GCC sources).

Thoughts?
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).

Isn't it always preferable to separate packages and break them down into
peaces (in this case have an external libffi) instead of having big
packages with lots of stuff (in this case GCC) ?


The proper solution is use deps.
