buggy libffi

The version of libffi in use in the current builds has a bug in it which cauzes the build to fail on the nightly snapshots (ghc-6.13.20100320-src.tar.bz2 etc)

and on the STABLE package in darcs.haskell.org (atleast it did here).

In src/x86/ffi.c

line 136-137 should be

    case FFI_TYPE_DOUBLE:
#ifdef HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE
    case FFI_TYPE_LONGDOUBLE:
#endif

instead of

    case FFI_TYPE_DOUBLE:
    case FFI_TYPE_LONGDOUBLE:

updating to libffi-0.3.9 should fix this.
