Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler. In this case, use the msvcc.sh
wrapper script during configuration like so:
-path/to/configure CC=path/to/msvcc.sh CXX=path/to/msvcc.sh LD=link CPP=\"cl -nologo -EP\"
+path/to/configure CC=path/to/msvcc.sh CXX=path/to/msvcc.sh LD=link CPP="cl -nologo -EP"
For 64-bit Windows builds, use CC="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64" and
CXX="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64". You may also need to specify --build
appropriately.
+It is also possible to build libffi on Windows platforms with the LLVM
+project's clang-cl compiler, like below:
+
+path/to/configure CC="path/to/msvcc.sh -clang-cl" CXX="path/to/msvcc.sh -clang-cl" LD=link CPP="clang-cl -EP"

When building with MSVC under a MingW environment, you may need to
remove the line in configure that sets 'fix_srcfile_path' to a 'cygpath'
command. ('cygpath' is not present in MingW, and is not required when
