#61132: clang-3.4: dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib
------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  ryandesign  |      Owner:  jeremyhu
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  High        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.6.3
 Keywords:              |       Port:  llvm-3.4, llvm-3.7
------------------------+--------------------------------
 After the libffi 3.3 update, clang-3.4 doesn't work anymore:

 {{{
 dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib
   Referenced from: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.4/bin/clang
   Reason: image not found
 }}}

 This prevents the revbumped python27 from building on Mac OS X 10.6 which
 prevents lots of other ports from building.

 The llvm-3.4 portfile's clang-3.4 subport contains this block:

 {{{
     # Clang doesn't actually use any of these, but the LLVM makefile
     # system overlinks its binaries. Remove (or convert to build deps?)
     # after #46040 is resolved.
     depends_lib-append  port:libffi port:ncurses port:zlib
 }}}

 #46040 is marked resolved. So maybe when we revbump the clang-3.4 subport
 we take care of that comment.

 The clang-3.7 port has the same comment block so might also be affected.
