When you first run the ./configure for gcc (with your 
--enable-languages=... and --enable-shared=libffi,..., you should 
notice some output like "This configuration not supported....".

You generaly need to enable gcj for libffi to build.  However, it's 
simple to edit the makefiles to build libffi shared and not (psuedo) 
depend on gcj.

I've included a patch for 3.4.X series to do this, but I haven't built 
3.3.X series in a while, so I'm not sure if it'll apply cleany, or at 
all, but if you review it, it's simple, and you can likely apply it to 
your 3.3.X build.  The nice thing is, once you remove the (pseudo) 
dependency of gcj, you can only set enable-languages=c,objc, if that's 
your thing.
