[New-bugs-announce] [issue40488] setup.py shall search by default for libffi.so in /usr/local/lib64

[Дилян Палаузов]

New submission from Дилян Палаузов <dilyan.palauzov at aegee.org>:

With libffi 3.3 doing `./configure && make install` puts  libffi.so in /usr/local/lib64/ . This can be found by pkgconfig.

But setup.py neither uses pkgconfig, nor checks by default /usr/local/lib64 for libffi
