It's a bug in the same way it would be a bug if the headers were stored
below %_bindir, %_mandir, %_sysconfdir or dirs other than %_includedir.

It may be worth a shot to contact libffi upstream about that unless
it's just the Fedora package that uses %_libdir for the headers.

[The comment about pkg-config --cflags is ridiculous. Sure, that command
can be used to retrieve the include path options, and without pkg-config
it would be difficult to _guess_ the versioned subdir, but nevertheless
headers don't belong into %_libdir.]
