I believe what you're using is the libffi that is internally part of
gcc's libjava implementation.  AFAIK this is only meant to be used by
libjava and not as a general purpose library.  On the other hand, java
does work -- at least to the limited extent allowed by the very old 3.4
version (i.e. static linking only, no indirect dispatch) -- and so it
must work on some level.
