Libraries for foreign function call interfaces

Edit Package ffcall

This is a collection of four libraries which can be used to build foreign function call interfaces in embedded interpreters. The four packages are:
- avcall: calling C functions with variable arguments
- vacall: C functions accepting variable argument prototypes
- trampoline: closures as first-class C functions
- callback: closures with variable arguments as first-class C functions (a reentrant combination of vacall and trampoline)

- Correct order of %file and %defattr 

- Allow debuginfo 

- Update to (lib)fcall-2.1 release
  * Added support for the following platforms:
    (Previously, a build on these platforms failed.)
    - x86_64: Solaris 11.3.
    - OpenBSD 6.1.
    - HardenedBSD 10 and 11.
  * Fixed a bug regarding passing of pointers on the following platforms:
    - x86_64: Linux with x32 ABI: CC="gcc -mx32".
  * Fixed a crash in trampoline on the following platforms:
- Update the patch ffcall-trampoline.patch even if not applied

- Update to (lib)fcall-2.0 release
  * The package now installs a library libffcall.{a,so}. It contains the
    'avcall' and 'callback' packages. The libraries libavcall.{a,so} and
    libcallback.{a,so} are still installed as well, but are deprecated.
  * The installed libraries are now installed as shared libraries by default
    (except for libvacall, which is still a static library only).
  * The installed shared libraries are now properly versioned. This means that
    when installing with --enable-shared, upgrading to a newer version of
    libffcall will not break existing binaries.
  * The installed include files are now platform independent. This means that
    you can now install libffcall for different ABIs on the same system, using
    the same --prefix option but different --exec-prefix options for each ABI.
  * API changes in <trampoline.h>:
    - The second argument of alloc_trampoline() is now a 'void**', rather
      than a 'void*'.
