./configure --with--ffi-libraries: ld cannot find libffi in a non-standard location
This ticket is to continue work on comment 19 to ticket #5743 (closed).
The issue is only relevant if you wish to use a system provided libffi rather than the in-tree libffi.

- .. If I understand this correctly, rts/libs.depend contains only -l flags so -L$(FFILibDir) won't be passed to the linker.
Apart from that, $(rts_LD_OPTS) seems to be ignored too.

- .. I think we only use rts_LD_OPTS when calling ld directly.
