Thanks for the clarification, I think that I will not export this option
any more and just have it enabled.

I am now able to build with the bundled libffi, but when I delete that
from the source and try to build it doesn't find the system library:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=native -ggdb -O2 -pipe -DMZ_DONT_USE_JIT
-DMZ_USES_SHARED_LIB -I./../racket -I./../racket/include
-I./../racket/src -Ilibffi/include -c ./foreign.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o
.libs/foreign.o
./foreign.c:73:17: error: ffi.h: No such file or directory

libffi uses pkgconfig but I'd have to check up on how to use that again
