[issue44556] ctypes unittest crashes with libffi 3.4.2

Yes, this does appear to be a result of the problem described in Issue45350. As noted there, the problem was caused by running autoreconf to regerenerate the ./configure script in an environment where pkg-config wasn't installed which caused some pkg-config code to be removed from ./configure. And, unfortunately, the ./configure script included with the v3.10.0 release still had that problem. You can copy an updated version from the current 3.10.0 branch or wait for 3.10.1 or you can try running autoreconf yourself in the source directory.

resolution:  -> duplicate
stage:  -> resolved
status: open -> closed
superseder:  -> configure incorrectly ignores pkg-config information for libffi and Tcl/Tk in 3.10
