koobs added the comment: This is also an issue for clang builds of Python on FreeBSD and results in the _ctypes extension failing to compile (See: koobs-freebsd-clang buildbot)
The original mozilla patch (see References below) did not make it into the libffi 3.0.11 release, which has already been committed to the Cpython tree (see #15194) Attached here is the original Mozilla patch to configure & configure.ac which I have included in a PR submitted to the FreeBSD ports tree for python27 The PR includes test builds with gcc and clang on multiple FreeBSD versions and architectures, along with a libffi unit test run with clang (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/171768) I propose this patch be committed to all branches to re-enable _ctypes extension builds with clang.
