This looks like you don't have libfffi OS package installed. I'm not
familiar with OpenBSD, so you'll have to figure out what it's called, but
it should be the "development" package if they make a distinction, i.e.,
the one with the .h files as well as the library (.so). But in fact it
looks like you don't have either now.

This is weird. *built-in-float-types* is defined in src/types.lisp, line
113; you can check for yourself in the source code.
