[New-bugs-announce] [issue35361] Update libffi dependency to 3.2.1?

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at redhat.com>:

Python 2.7 and 3.6 embed a copy of libffi 3.1, whereas libffi 3.2.1 was released on November 12, 2014. Should we update libffi?

I'm talking about the directory Modules/_ctypes/libffi/.

It seems like Fedora 29 still uses libffi 3.1:

$ rpm -q libffi
libffi-3.1-18.fc29.x86_64

Note: Not only we vendor a copy of libffi and we also modify it :-/

Hopefully, libffi copy has been removed from Python 3.7!
