Thanks Gaash.

Andrew - it would be nice if we could upgrade RHEL's libffi to a
non-ABI breaking 3.0.10.  If, however, it makes more sense to
cherry-pick patches since 3.0.5, I can see some nice ones from mjw and
jakub back in 2010, and there are likely more.  If you think we should
open an RFE I can propose some specific patches for consideration.
There may only be 4 or 5 and they are all pretty obvious.
