[DotGNU]sparc-sun-solaris2.8 libffi issue

[James Mc Parlane]

solaris is broken.. libffi does not build when using the latest from CVS

make[5]: Entering directory `/home/dotgnu/pnet/sparcv9/libffi'
make[5]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/dotgnu/pnet/sparcv9/libffi'
make[4]: *** [multi-do] Error 1

make[1]: *** [libffi-all-local] Error 2

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


If I configure libffi out with the --without-libffi then I get joy.
