-Subject: [PATCH] librustc_llvm/build: Force link against libffi
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-`llvm-config --libs` doesn't output libffi in many cases.  Fixing it
-turned out to take quite a bit of effort, so force libffi linking in
-here for now.
