[issue14527] How to link with an external libffi?

[Paul A.]

New submission from Paul A. <pda at freeshell.org>:

I trying to build python using an external libffi package I have installed -- is there some trick in directing --with-system-ffi to the path where it's located.  I don't see clues in config.log or anywhere to help.
