A few questions for Russell:

Does this mean I can safely ignore the segfault?

By 'vendored in' do you mean 'sources included in python source tree for 
building?'

>I can verify that libffi v3.2 works on ARMv7 (on iOS, anyway), and there's

Would your recommend downloading and building libffi from sources (on device) 
and then building python?

I'm asking the above questions because I've hit a fairly significant roadblock; 
I'm still getting the segfault when test_ctypes is run and I can't seem to get 
anything useful out of gdb.
