 > To make it clear: `patch-libffi-intel-leopard-sysv.diff` is superfluous
 since its contents has been incorporated into the sources. `patch-libffi-
 tests-gcc42.diff` can easily be substituted with `patch-libffi-tests-
 GCC42.diff` which is kind of an update. You can change `Portfile` easily
 yourself: `sudo port edit libffi`. I do not know (or remember) how to set
 the editor in which it will open. Maybe `sudo env EDITOR=<your choice>
 port edit libffi` on the command line will do exactly what you want.

 Yes. It was clear. Today I proceeded as following. Got the "GCC42" patch
 and replaced in the portfile the gcc42 file with it. Disabled the intel-
 leopard patch.

 I tested on PPC G4 and got:

 {{{
 # of expected passes            444
 # of unexpected failures        170
 # of unsupported tests          209
 }}}

 and on PPC intel 64bit:

 {{{
 # of unexpected failures        298
 # of unresolved testcases       298
 # of unsupported tests          209
 }}}

 Interesting that the total is different, that things changed on PPC and
 not on Intel-64.
