Just adding a --with-libffi doesn't actually make it useful since the
minimum required version of libffi hasn't been released yet, and libffi
releases don't come out that frequently. Note that a large portion of
the patchset between the latest libffi release and latest HEAD has come
from Mozilla, who have pushed all their changes upstream and have had
them merged successfully, and there are still more changes in the
pipeline.
Debian builds xulrunner-1.9.2.3 against the system libffi-3.0.9 and it just
works. They even claim a minimum version of only >= 3.0.5 for the
dependency.
