The --with-system-ffi was removed back in Python-3.12.0, in upstream
commit [1].
From the Python 3.12 release notes:
- gh-100540: Removed the ``--with-system-ffi`` ``configure`` option;
``libffi`` must now always be supplied by the system on all non-Windows
platforms. The option has had no effect on non-Darwin platforms for
several releases, and in 3.11 only had the non-obvious effect of invoking
``pkg-config`` to find ``libffi`` and never setting
``-DUSING_APPLE_OS_LIBFFI``. Now on Darwin platforms ``configure`` will
first check for the OS ``libffi`` and then fall back to the same
processing as other platforms if it is not found.
Buildroot includes such a Python 3.12.x version since commit [2].
When compiling python3 in Buildroot, the package configuration step
reports the warning:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: [...] --with-system-ffi
The commit drops the now defunct option.
