I tried building ffcall-1.10 but "make check" terminates with an
"Illegal instruction" while working in trampoline_r, which doesn't
inspire confidence. This was on i686-apple-darwin, which is not
listed in the supported platforms -- not surprising, as it didn't
exist when ffcall was released. (It does complete without error on
powerpc-apple-darwin.)
Anyone know the status of ffcall? From what I can find online, it
doesn't look as though this is being actively maintained. Suggestions?
