This shows that you do have the ffitarget.h file.  You need to ensure 
that this path is searched by the compiler.  I'm guessing that adding 
something like "-I libffi" to your CFLAGS might do it.  Also, 
Slackware's build scripts do their configure like:
$ configure ...... i486-slackware-linux
This results in some warnings, but might be relevant.
