And licenses are fluid, it may be a piece of cake to get one of those 'tools' un-GPL'ed, even if they are. I wouldn't even know whom to ask.

It shouldn't be too hard to use Python's main configure script to calculate the information necessary to build libffi. A lot of it is already calculated anyway (sizeof various type, endianness), some can be hardcoded (FFINORAWAPI).

In PyObjC I just compile the files I need from my setup.py. But I have an easy task, I just need to support two CPU architectures on one OS.

Let's please be sure the license isn't fine as is before thinking
about asking people to change them or rewriting the build system! I
did not look at all the files listed as being GPL, but the first
two in the list were not.
