I did some googling on libffi.  It seems to be included as part of gcc.
Is this relevant?
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23718
This was reported against gcc 4.0.0, and you are most likely using gcc 
3.4.6, but it's possible your ffitarget.h is installed in the wrong 
location.  Two guesses. You may need to add a "-Iwhateverdir" to your 
CFLAGS.  You may need to pass some target/host/build info to configure.
