All of them.
If you take a look at _Applied Cryptography (2nd Edition)_, you will find a
number of different methods that have been used against FEAL.
It seems that whenever someone comes up with a new method of cryptanalysis,
they use it on FEAL first. (Or at least it seems that way...)
There are much better solutions. Unpatented ones as well...
