    Hi lists,

  There was a small problem with this (upstream relative to gcc) libffi
patch(*).  The entire #ifdef FFI_MMAP_EXEC_EMUTRAMP_PAX clause is contained
within an outer #if !defined(X86_WIN32) && !defined(X86_WIN64) clause.  That
means that Windows platforms don't get the default definition of
is_emutramp_enabled() supplied by the #else clause.  However,
is_emutramp_enabled() is unconditionally referenced in dlmmap(), and without
this default definition Windows targets fail to compile.

  The attached patch fixes this by moving the #else clause with the default
is_emutramp_enabled() definition to a standalone #ifndef clause outside any
enclosing conditional compilation test.  I couldn't think of a better way to
do it; the #if !(windows) clause is followed by a #elif (cygwin/interix)
clause, so I'd have had to put a default definition in there and also a second
one in a subsequent unconditional #else if I didn't move it out of the
enclosing #if scope altogether.

  Gcc-patches: Assuming AG approves, can we commit this without waiting for an
upstream libffi release and doing a full merge?  Currently GCC HEAD won't
build libffi (and hence libjava) without it.

	* src/closures.c (is_emutramp_enabled [!FFI_MMAP_EXEC_EMUTRAMP_PAX]):
	Move default definition outside enclosing #if scope.

    cheers,
      DaveK
