Comment:

 = Mac without system libffi =

 After "make install", the installed GHC refers to libffi in the build
 directory.

 % otool -L ghc | grep libffi
      /Users/kazu/work/ghc/libffi/build/inst/lib/libffi.6.dylib
 (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)

 So, after I did "make maintainer-clean", the installed GHC could not
 find a libffi.
