[New-bugs-announce] [issue33063] failed to build _ctypes: undefined reference to `ffi_closure_FASTCALL'

[Siming Yuan]

New submission from Siming Yuan <siming85 at gmail.com>:

compiling Python 3.5.5 under RHEL 6.4, 32-bit:

build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.5/opt/python/Python-3.5.5/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.o: In function `ffi_prep_closure_loc':
/opt/python/Python-3.5.5/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.c:678: undefined reference to `ffi_closure_FASTCALL'
/usr/bin/ld: build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.5/opt/python/Python-3.5.5/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.o: relocation R_386_GOTOFF against undefined hidden symbol `ffi_closure_FASTCALL' can not be used when making a shared object
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value


related to https://bugs.python.org/issue23042 - but it seems like the patch for x86/ffi.c never made it to release.
