Build fails on PowerPC 64 bit Linux

[trommler]

On PowerPC 64 bit Linux build fails with the following error message:

libraries/libffi-clib/src/powerpc/ppc_closure.S:31:10: error:
     fatal error: powerpc/asm.h: No such file or directory
       31 | #include <powerpc/asm.h>
          |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   |
31 | #include <powerpc/asm.h>

I am working on a fix.

is it an upstream issue in libffi source as well? we should track changes to the vendored libffi, otherwise when upstream puts out an update it'll be painful to catch up

No, it isn't. The cabal file is missing src in the include directive.
