Update libffi shortly before first GHC 8.0.1 RC

Making this ticket so I don't forget to check for the latest libffi release shortly before the first RC (like I missed that "libffi-3.2.1 was released on November 12, 2014" which would have been in time for 7.10.1RC1)

Anyway you could piggyback static libffi support on this? Not all environments have shared libraries. https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1032

libffi-3.2.1 is still the latest release; will update shortly

changed title from Update libffi shortly before first GHC 7.12.1 RC to Update libffi shortly before first GHC 8.0.1 RC
