Description
libffi upstream hides headers behind ABI-specific directories. On gentoo this leads to failing ./configure checks for ffi.h, as autoconf by itself is not aware of it. See e.g. https://bugs.gentoo.org/643582 for details. A fix would be to call pkg-config in case of failing checks for the header:
$ pkg-config --cflags libffi -I/usr/lib64/libffi-3.3_rc0/include
More precisely, the right PKG_... autoconf macro.
On the other hand, this might be a gcc gentoo bug, as on Debian the location is still not /usr/include, but something including x86_64 in its name, yet the compiler finds the header just fine.
