I'm not on the SableVM-users list.

libffi indeed hasn't been ported to hpux. It's on my todo list,
but my time is a bit limited these days.

As David pointed out, while the hppa-linux libffi port may be a good
starting point, there are some differences w.r.t. the hpux ABI,
especially with the use of multiple subspaces. That will require some
work in libffi to get it to work with hpux.
