The patch fixes build failure of form:
     ../src/alpha/osf.S:298:2: error: #error "osf.S out of sync with ffi.h"
Upstream fixed the bug in a more invasive way
but didn't have releases since 3.2.1.

The patch is taken from Gentoo:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-libs/libffi/files/libffi-3.2.1-complex_alpha.patch
