Comment:

 r53745 should fix this.  Turns out not to be a cabal problem, but one in
 core ghc.  A private copy of libffi is built and is expected to be linked
 in as part of the runtime.  However, the only thing which ensures that
 this library is used is a bit of light search path hackery.

 The portfile has been changed to implement the correct solution: call the
 private version of libffi something different (libHsLocalFfi) to prevent
 the name clash.
