There shouldn't be. At the start, CLISP and ffcall were in the same
hands: Bruno Haible. One day, Bruno realized that other projects could
make use (or already had?) of the ffcall stuff and separated it as a
library that he maintained for several years. At some time,
the ffcall source moved out of the clisp source tree.

When the packages are maintained, all is well.  When not, your situation
is not unlike Debian, Suse, Ubuntu etc. maintainers' job: have some
patches (to libffcall, not clisp) at hand to keep them running...
It's best if the patches are on the bug tracker of the ffcall project.

This would p.o. lots of people, but you could consider building clisp
without FFI, that's quite a task already. Please discuss priorities with
your mentor.
