[issue1292] libffi needs an update to support mips64, arm and armeabi on linux

[Thomas Heller]

Thomas Heller added the comment:

In the branches_ctypes-branch I hacked setup.py to always use an
installed libffi if one is found.  Then I triggered the trunk buildbots
which failed or crashed before in some c_longdouble tests; the tests
worked ok on them (ppc Debian unstable, and S-390 Debian).
