[oi-dev] library/libffi breaks dependencies

[Erol Zavidic]

So far I haven't seen any regressions in Firefox using newer libffi library
and symlink setup. It would probably suffice to create the link in p5m:
link path=usr/lib/$(MACH64)/libffi.so.6 target=libffi.so.6.0.1
link path=usr/lib/libffi.so.5 target=libffi.so.6.0.1

Cheers, Erol
