 how about dlopen/dlsym? that's pretty simple and rather usual. Callable
C functions should export a standard API (like the builtins in your
interpreter?), you designate an initialization function that registers
these in the namespace, and you're set.

 As for writing a custom ffi, how about looking at libffi or gnu
lightning instead?
