Sorry if I wasn't clear. libffi is a separate use case and GCC nested functions is a separate one. libffi is not used to solve the nested function stuff. For nested functions, GCC generates trampoline code and arranges to place it on the stack and execute it. I agree with your other points about nested function implementation.
