This approach seems very weird to me.
I don't understand why it is preferable to a libffi-based FFI.
The main difficulty I see is that now you're either promising an
internal Emacs ABI -- hard to do -- or you're requiring recompilations
whenever Emacs changes -- hard on users.

GNU already has libltdl.
