It works for me (i.e. the "binary-dist" and "test_bindist" targets do
not give me errors) if I use the --with-system-libffi flags, and
ldd(1) shows that everything is okay:

$ ldd bindisttest/HelloWorld
bindisttest/HelloWorld:
        libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28126000)
        libgmp.so.10 => /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.10 (0x2821e000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28281000)
        librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0x2829b000)
        libffi.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6 (0x282a0000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x282a6000)

$ pkg info -x libffi
libffi-3.0.11                  Foreign Function Interface

However, if I do not use --with-system-libffi, but libffi.so.6 is
present on the system, the following happens at gmake binary-dist
(just for your information):

$ gmake binary-dist
