New submission from Ajaya <ajayakumars265 at gmail.com>:

i am using libffi-3.3.tgz for building python 3.8.2 in Linux. In windows there is no problem it is using libffi-7.dll.In linux it is using libffi.so.6 instead of libffi.so.7.
i am using "./configure --prefix=/u/$loginID/Python$pythonVersion --enable-debug".
