+ <para>Similar to GMP, libffi builds with optimizations specific
+ to the proccesor in use. If building for another system, export
+ CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to specify a generic build for your architecture.
+ If this is not done, all applications that link to libffi will trigger
+ Illegal Operation Errors.</para>
