 revision="8b1020ed21ec8af1accdd900f0d48c3c92b6ed83"
 RTS: Disable warnings in ffi.h

 The update of GHC's in-tree libffi causes warnings about
 undefined macros and hence validate fails.

 Also mark broken tests that have a ticket.

 Fixes #14353

 Test Plan: ./validate (on AIX and powerpc if possible)
