Hi!

The Dockerfiles for Linux in this repository currently pass --with-system-ffi to configure:

--with-system-ffi \

This option was added back in #205 / #358.

However, as of Python 3.7+ using the system ffi library is the default for Linux:
https://bugs.python.org/issue27979
python/cpython@f40d4dd#diff-49473dca262eeab3b4a43002adb08b4db31020d190caaad1594b47f1d5daa810

As such, builds are currently emitting this warning during configure:

checking for --with-system-ffi... yes
configure: WARNING: --with(out)-system-ffi is ignored on this platform

Examples in CI on this repo:

Given that this repo no longer supports Python versions older than Python 3.7, it seems this option can now be dropped?
