Make ghc-6.10 use a non-executable stack (by bumping libffi)

Attached patch:

Mon Mar 23 08:08:32 CET 2009  Lennart Kolmodin <kolmodin@gentoo.org>
  * Replace libffi 3.0.4 with libffi 3.0.8
  Use the latest version of libffi, which compiles with a non-executable
  stack. libffi 3.0.4 was the single piece of ghc using the executable stack,
  forcing the whole toolchain to use executable stacks (including all
  executables it compiled).
