just downloaded the runtime and gave it a shot on FreeBSD.  configure
dies in libffi.  here's the last bit that gets output...

checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
updating cache .././config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating include/Makefile
creating testsuite/Makefile
creating Makefile
creating fficonfig.h
fficonfig.h unchanged
.: Can't open ./config-ml.in: No such file or directory
configure: error: ./configure failed for libffi

if i try compiling anyway, it seems to work, but the compile fails in
the wrapper directory...  here's the last of the output.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include/glib12
-I../.. -g -Wall -Wunused -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations
-c wrapper.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/wrapper.lo

i belive the problem comes from wrapper.h including sys/stat.h.  if i
remove that, those particular errors go away, but i get further errors
later in the compile of course, because it needs the stuff in
sys/stat.h ;-(  #includeing sys/stat.h directly in wrapper.c gets me
further, but i die still further, with it complaining about no member
st_atimespec, st_mtimespec, and st_ctimespec.  a quick glance at the stat 
man page says those are only defined when _POSIX_SOURCE is not
defined.  i imagine we are defineing _POSIX_SOURCE somewhere.  if we
wish to do so, we should be using these alternate fields instead:

         time_t    st_atime;             /* time of last access */
         long      st_atimensec;         /* nsec of last access */
         time_t    st_mtime;             /* time of last data modification */
         long      st_mtimensec;         /* nsec of last data modification */
         time_t    st_ctime;             /* time of last file status change */
         long      st_ctimensec;         /* nsec of last file status change */

i still haven't got around to actually trying to run any of this
stuff...  more on that tonight, if i have a chance.
