Actually I tend to suspect that we'll lose some amount of bug fixing
or new ports if libffi's main repository moves out of GCC. I suppose
the counter-argument is that we'll be leaving a copy of libffi in the
gcc tree anyway, so it will be just easy for gcc maintainers to make
fixes (and one of us to move them back upstream). I guess I've just
talked myself in a circle :-).
