I was using pkgsrc-current, but devel/libffi builds for me with
pkgsrc-2020Q3.

Puzzling...

Do you set some environmental variables, or do you have something
shadowing standard tools in your PATH, e.g., /usr/local/bin? What
happens when you make after ``su -'' to wipe out envs? Or can you
``./configure && gmake'' for libffi manually without pkgsrc?

That's all I can come up at the moment... Probably worth asking
pkgsrc gurus in tech-pkg@.
