I had a quick look, and unfortunately, there is no support for NIOS-II in libffi. This means that anything that uses libglib or python cannot be built for NIOS-II. This is a bit annoying as adding a 'depends on !BR2_nios2' on all reverse dependencies of libglib is a big pain. Unfortunately, a quick google search doesn't even show the start of an effort to add NIOS-II support to libffi, so I guess we'll have to live with that.
