And now I remember why I did this: it was because this web site, which
is the official site for libffi, has a bad SSL certificate.
(sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

   http://sourceware.org/libffi/

It's not good for guile to rely on third party source like this: I
have the same reservations about the garbage collector. What can we do
about that? One solution would be to try to get the maintainers of
these libraries to make them proper GNU software, but perhaps that
would be difficult, or impossible legally.
