I have seen this precise error when building with a recent version of cygwin
(see http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs/cygwin32) which comes with a -lffi
library. ECL detects it and tries to use it, but it fails because it seems
it is not the actual libffi or it has some other API. I just wonder why you
saw the same error in pure Mingw (while I don't
