This is actually an issue with libffi 3.4.4. Changing to linking to the shared libffi works. Apparently, building libffi with

../configure --prefix=/tmp/libffi --without-gcc-arch --disable-docs --with-pic --enable-shared=no

fixes the problem but that is not how the libffi in the distributions are built.
