Hi Yoichi,

using the package search at
  http://cygwin.com/packages/

the outcome
  http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=libffi

suggest me 2 things:
- install libffi4
- replace obsolete gcc (version 3) with gcc4 package

as
  usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/libffi.a
is part of gcc4-core

Regards
Marco
