I get the same build failure with Python 2.7.5 and 3.2.5 under 64-bit
Cygwin even though I configure --with-system-ffi and have libffi-devel
installed.  I noticed that libffi-devel installs its headers in a
non-standard location:

$ cygcheck -l libffi-devel | fgrep .h
/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffi.h
/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffitarget.h

AFAICT, this prevents Python's build system from using the system
provided libffi and attempt to build its own causing an error like the
one above.

I can workaround the problem by creating symlinks to the libffi header
files in /usr/include:

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/* /usr/include

It appears that others have successfully built Python under 64-bit
Cygwin without resorting to my workaround.  Does anyone know what I'm
missing?

Thanks,
Jason
