For UNIX OSs we could probably rely on the system libffi then. What's the situation on OS X? Anyone know if it has libffi, or would be need to be pulled in to be used like on Windows?
Ronald (in http://bugs.python.org/issue23534): "On OSX the internal copy of libffi that's used is based on the one in PyObjC, which in turn is based on the version of libffi on opensource.apple.com (IIRC with some small patches that fix minor issues found by the PyObjC testsuite)."

From pypy experience, libffi installed on OS X tends to just work (we never had any issues with those)
