Comment:

 For reference, the configure option `--with-system-libffi` was added in
 #5743.

 Using `./configure --with-system-libffi` in a bindist, you should see the
 following warning:
 {{{
 WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-system-libffi
 }}}

 kgardas: do you want to keep this open as a feature request, or is it
 sufficient for you to be able to build GHC `--with-system-libffi`?
