Turned out the patch isn't required.
Our MIPS dev. was able to get libffi working fine on his IP22, and our
Python is using it with no problems.
That said, perhaps Python is bundling customized or old copy of libffi.
Gah! I hate bundling libs! Nothing but troubles and confusion. :-)
On unrelated note:
One test is failing in 3.0.8 for both MIPS and Sparc/FreeBSD, with
"libunwind" as shown here, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287811
Haven't figured out that yet.
