Can you see if some addition argument to the (cc-flags ...) form
solves the problem?  Look where there currently is already such a form
(i.e., all files that are loaded with cffi-grovel:grovel-file in the
ASD file).  Preferably with as non-version-specific a path as possible
(the libffi-3.0.5 makes me nervous, in that presumably every version
this changes).

If that doesn't work, I think a post to the cffi-devel list is in
order, as this seems to be something that shouldn't require editing
the grovel.lisp file.

Thanks,
Liam
