[issue35061] Specify libffi.so soname for ctypes

[Yongkwan Kim]

New submission from Yongkwan Kim <tturbs at hotmail.com>:

As python 3.7 excludes libffi from it's package, my build on centos6 doesn't work on centos7. Error message is following.

ImportError: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

centos7 have libffi.so.6 instead of libffi.so.5 as does centos6. I hope to specify libffi version with libffi.so. I figured out that any configure option  can fix this through seeing setup.py .

Thanks in advance.
