libffi: add patch to fix MIPS support

Building Python 3.x on MIPS with musl fails because the libffi code
uses a "#ifdef linux" test to decide if we're building on Linux or
not. When building with -std=c99, "linux" is not defined, so instead
of including <asm/sgidefs.h>, libffi's code tries to include
<sgidefs.h>, which doesn't exist on musl.

The right fix is to use __linux__, which is POSIX compliant, and
therefore defined even when -std=c99 is used.

Note that glibc and uClibc were not affected because they do provide a
<sgidefs.h> header in addition to the <asm/sgidefs.h> one.

Subject: [PATCH] mips: use __linux__ and not linux
The "linux" symbol is not POSIX compliant [1], and therefore not
defined when building with -std=c99. Due to this, the linux
conditional block doesn't get used on Linux when building Python 3.x
(which is built with -std=c99). To fix this, we use the POSIX
compliant __linux__ symbol, which is defined when -std=c99 is used.
This fixes the build of Python 3.x on MIPS/musl configuration, as it
makes sures that <asm/sgidefs.h> gets included and not <sgidefs.h>.
