I'm having difficulty compiling ffidl for 8.6 and it looks like it
hasn't been touched since 2006. Has anyone else gotten it to work?

With 8.5 it works, I compiled it lately without problems on Linux. However,
you need to download and compile Tcl as well and, in ffidl, set the
configure flag --with-tcl to the compiled Tcl sources. Using the tcl-dev
package of your distribution doesn't work, because an .o file from the
compiled tcl is linked in (for some reason that I don't know).
