This is a bug in libffi.  Tha PACKAGE and VERSION macros are
autoconf/automake generated ones which should NEVER be exported
outside a package.

It works on Linux because many people complained and submitted bug
reports.  I did under Debian GNU/Linux, and they fixed it.

The fast solution is to comment theses macro definitions in the libffi
headers of your system.

OK, I'm off the Internet for a while.  See the last messages I sent on
the sablevm-devel list.

Have fun!
