[Ecls-list] is there --with-libffi-prefix ?

[Oliver Kullmann]

Doing so I get the error:

if [ -f CROSS-COMPILER ]; then \
                ./CROSS-COMPILER compile; \
        else \
                ECLDIR=`pwd`/ ./ecl_min compile; \
        fi
./ecl_min: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The libffi-built created libffi.so.5 --- why does it want an earlier version (there is no libffi-version
otherwise on that machine)?
