I don't think that is what happens, because I have diff'ed the lists of
installed files of both versions of g-wrap and they are effectively the same.
Further if I first uninstall g-wrap and then install g-wrap-1.9.12
guile-gnome-platform fails in the same way.
I am using the stand-alone libffi-3.0.8 from http://sourceware.org/libffi/ so
there should be no need for g-wrap to install its own. AFAICT g-wrap doesn't
bundle libffi any more since at least 1.9.11.
