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. |
