[New-bugs-announce] [issue28491] Remove bundled libffi for OSX

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

Here's a patch that at least allows _ctypes to be built against a Homebrew libffi and pass the test_ctypes.  It is almost certainly not a complete patch, but may serve as a basis for something that will actually work.
