Probably the easiest way of moving this forward would be for someone to identify the CPython-specific patches in the current version, and check if they are addressed in the latest libffi version. They haven't been applied as they are, I gather, but maybe equivalent fixes have been made. I've no idea how easy that would be (presumably not trivial, or someone would already have done it). If the patches aren't needed any more, upgrading becomes a lot more plausible.

That's easy. All patches are tracked in the diff file https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3de678cd184d/Modules/_ctypes/libffi.diff . The file should be up to date.
