Comment (by angerman):
According to the History at https://github.com/atgreen/libffi AArch64
(ARM) support was added in libffi 3.1
{{{
3.1 May-19-14
Add AArch64 (ARM64) iOS support.
Add Nios II support.
Add m88k and DEC VAX support.
Add support for stdcall, thiscall, and fastcall on non-Windows
32-bit x86 targets such as Linux.
Various Android, MIPS N32, x86, FreeBSD and UltraSPARC IIi
fixes.
Make the testsuite more robust: eliminate several spurious
failures, and respect the $CC and $CXX environment variables.
Archive off the manually maintained ChangeLog in favor of git
log.
}}}
The original libffi patch that is part of the libffi-3.0.14.tar.gz as
mentioned above
ended up in two pull requests:
- https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/pull/19
- https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/pull/60
of which non was finally merged. Both seem dead by now, but as mentioned
above in libffi 3.1, iOS support was added.
