Description stsp 2021-09-10 14:21:51 UTC 
The below libffi sources have
different hash sums:
http://sources.buildroot.net/libffi/libffi-3.3.tar.gz
https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/libffi/libffi-3.3.tar.gz

I am not sure its a usual practice
for buildroot to repack source packages.

stsp, All,

That's because Buildroot is not downloading from the GNU
mirror, but directly from the github repository:
    https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/tree/package/libffi/libffi.mk#n8
