I've just checked that. Atk, pango (and similar packages) do not
require libffi. However, if they are compiled without libffi, then the
gtk+ build will fail.

So it sounds like gobject-introspection functionality requires it in
practice, no?  Or perhaps it’s libpeas that requires it?


I think it's really gtk+ that needs it. And if it can't be built, then libpeas can't be built.

I think I'll add libffi as a propagated input of gobject-introspection.

Cyril.
