<note>
|
|
<para>Similar to GMP, libffi builds with optimizations specific
|
|
to the proccesor in use. If building for another system, export
|
|
CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to specify a generic build for your architecture.
|
|
If this is not done, all applications that link to libffi will trigger
|
|
Illegal Operation Errors.</para>
