[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#453242: gnustep-base: FTBFS: checking if ffcall trampolines work... no

[Hubert Chathi]

severity 453242 important
thanks

While this bug is rather severe, it evidently hasn't caused problems so
far (I guess not many people have been running GNUstep on Opeterons,
since nobody's reported a bug yet).

The proper fix (for now, until ffcall gets fixed) seems to be to use
libffi instead of ffcall, but I want to do some more testing before I
upload it, since it is a rather large change.  I don't think it's worth
holding back the GNUstep transition for this yet, so I'm downgrading
this bug to non-RC.
