I think both of these are part of glibc (the latter being the gettext
interface), so if you are on a GNU system (which OpenSuSE presumably is
;-)), you should be fine. On the *BSDs, I think you need to actually
install these as separate systems.

File a bug with OpenSuSE, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libffi.pc should be
contained in the same package as the .so and .a files; apparently their
package is incomplete.
