Here's the relevant error:

configure:25969: checking g-wrap-wct.h presence
configure:25984: gcc -E  -pthread -std=gnu99   conftest.c
In file included from /usr/include/g-wrap/ffi-support.h:24,
                 from /usr/include/g-wrap/core-runtime.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/g-wrap/guile-wct.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/g-wrap-wct.h:3,
                 from conftest.c:69:
/usr/include/ffi.h:63:23: ffitarget.h: No such file or directory

You should send this to your distribution -- there's a packaging
error where g-wrap-devel isn't depending on the libffi development
package.  You're missing ffi.
