What happens on those platforms where ctypes doesn't work? Does the module fail to import, either because it isn't present, or because it can't load the libffi library? Or does it fail silently in some way?

It doesn't compile, and Python's setup.py script removes if afterwards IIRC so it cannot be imported.

In some cases it compiles, but the ctypes unittests segfault (I have seen this some days ago on HP-UX PA with gcc). The cause for the segfault is either a ctypes bug or a libffi bug.
