YEAH, I now got it correctly. For whatever reason, the linux-api-
headers package wasn't installed correctly on my system. I did
$ sudo pacman -S linux-api-headers
$ cd
$ sudo su
# pacman -S linux-api-headers
(the first one reported an error about the working directory and
crashed (I suppose because my working directory was /usr/include/asm-
generic), so I installed it a second time as pure root, without sudo.
And now ffi installs absolutely fine.

Thanks for everybody trying to get this resolved.
ffi's great!

Valete,
