Interesting, thanks. Can you see in output/staging/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
if you have the file named libffi.pc ?

If that's the case, then, can you try:

	./output/host/usr/bin/pkg-config --list-all

and see if libffi is part of the list ?

If that's the case, can you pastebin (http://code.bulix.org) the entire
output/build/libglib2-2.36.3/config.log file, and give us the URL at
which it was posted?

Finally, can you inspect your environment (by running "env") to see if
there's anything suspicious. Ideally, giving your environment might be
useful, but read it first to remove any personal stuff from it, if
applicable.

Hopefully it's not an important password :)

Best regards,
