For the target python, we're building libffi separately. I guess we
should do the same for host-python, i.e use host-libffi instead of the
bundled libffi.
Could you have a look at implementing this ?

There is a patch at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1095710/ that
bumps to 2.1.0-beta3, but only for AArch64. I'm not sure what we should
do about this.
Best regards,
