libffi won't built; no such rules in the makefile

libffi will not build.

[libffi-3.0.10]$ make
make: Nothing to be done for `all-configured'.

see below for more details. I just upgraded from SL to Lion. I have no problems with other ports, only those which rely on libffi.

$ port -v install libffi

First, "sudo port clean libffi" and then try again. If it fails again, attach the main.log file.
