ffi.h missing when building parallel on Darwin
I've had this annoyance for a while building from a clean tree on macOS
Steps to reproduce:
% ./boot
% ./configure
% ./hadrian/build -j
The build fails building ghc-prim
with a missing ffi.h
error. The quickest way to do a full build is:
% ./hadrian/build -j
# wait until failure
% ./hadrian/build
^C # (after libffi/rts have been built completely)
% ./hadrian/build -j
# wait until build finishes
Perhaps the failure depends on the number of jobs, it fails reliably on my 12-core M2 Max CPU.
