I just had a dig around my cpython build dir, and found an ffi64.c I hacked at a 
while back.
I copied the edits over to the latest libffi git revision, rebuilt, and `make 
check` (of libffi) passes all tests. So as far as I can tell the below patch 
works, but it is a hack, and I'm sure it could be improved..
Regards to submitting it upstream, I've just written to the libffi-
discuss/sourceware.org mailing list, sending them the below patch also. So it 
might work, but you know that GPL clause about coming with no warranty? ;)
HTH,
Alex
