Bug Description
[Impact]
It isn't possible to build newer versions of python-cffi on trusty/arm64 because it's test cases will fail due to this bug. The thing that's biting me is that cloud-archive:
Additionally, libffi is used by several languages in Ubuntu (python, ruby, haskell, etc), so this may also be causing issues in the closed set of Ubuntu/trusty packages. I don't have evidence either way.
[TestCase]
Build python-
"TestFFI.
[Regression Risk]
The fix is in the aarch64-specific code, so there's a negligible risk of regression on other platforms. This exact fix was included in vivid and wily and no regressions have been triaged to libffi in those releases.
