It's true that for the past 10 years virtually all development has happened
within the GCC project.  However, the FSF has always been clear that libffi is
not part of GCC.  It is just distributed along with GCC for convenience.  GCC
has never installed libffi as a user library.  It is only used to enable libgcj.
 Given libffi's continued use outside of the GCC project, I recently decided to
start making independent libffi releases again.  See this thread:
