Comment (by ryandesign at macports.org):

 I am on an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.11, Xcode 2.4.1 and MacPorts built
 from trunk. The gnustep-base port would not install until I applied the
 changes in r32265. Trying it now with the +ffcall variant, on the first
 install attempt, it fails like this:

 {{{

 }}}

 On the next attempt, it fails like this:

 You have ffcall, but it does not work properly. Most likely because
 your're system's security policy is blocking some parts of ffcall
 we recommend installing libffi instead.
 GNUstep requires ffcall or libffi and proper libobjc hooks to do
 invocations and DO.
 (This does not apply on apple-apple-apple systems where DO is
 not compatible with other GNUstep systems.)

 You most likely do not want to build base without DO support. Many
 things, including all applications, won't work at all without DO.
 If you really want to build -base without DO support, add --disable-do
 to the configure arguments.
 For more information, read the GNUstep build guide, ffcall section:
 http://gnustep.made-it.com/BuildGuide/index.html
 configure: error: Incomplete support for ffi functionality.
