Comment:

 My hsc2hs doesn't depend on libffi (checked by otool -L).  I'm guessing
 that this is related to ghc's internal cabal used during the build.  It
 ignores the top level environment variables and options and goes rooting
 around the file system for whatever tools it thinks should be used.
 Because it ignores the environment variables we can set in the portfile,
 the only fix is to patch in the correct options.  Ugh.  But it needs to be
 done....
