[issue17848] can't compile with clang and build a shared lib due to libffi

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at python.org> added the comment:

As of Python 3.7, Python source releases no longer "vendor" the source of libffi for Linux platforms; you need to use either a system-supplied libffi or, if really necessary, build and link with your own copy (not always easy to do). As the supplied patch modifies the now-defunct vendored libffi source, this issue is no longer relevant for current Pythons.
