.. section: Build
Removed the ``--with-system-ffi`` ``configure`` option; ``libffi`` must now
always be supplied by the system on all non-Windows platforms. The option
has had no effect on non-Darwin platforms for several releases, and in 3.11
only had the non-obvious effect of invoking ``pkg-config`` to find
``libffi`` and never setting ``-DUSING_APPLE_OS_LIBFFI``. Now on Darwin
platforms ``configure`` will first check for the OS ``libffi`` and then fall
back to the same processing as other platforms if it is not found.
