RMS doesn't like it because it would allow to link emacs with non-free
binary code. This leads to many possible licensing problems with
regard to the GPL that RMS wants to avoid. We already have a similar
situation with the Linux kernel. Search the emacs-devel archives for
some discussions about this, e.g.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2003-07/msg00398.html
The pragmatic me would also very much like to see a FFI in GNU Emacs,
but it's also a political issue, unfortunately.
HTH,
Anselm
