Are you sure that Squeak really depends on libffi?

I just compiled it (squeak-3.9.7) fine without having libffi on my
system and with disabled libffi USE-flag.

According to my reading of the code, it doesn't use libffi on x86-linux,
ppc-linux and ppc-darwin, but does on all other platforms. In any case, it
should be fine with the libffi in gcc, it's just a case of the maintainer
finding time to update the ebuild.
