This is pretty clever use of gcc extensions!   However (and, forgive me, 
as I haven't had my morning coffee yet), I'm not sure I understand where 
this would be useful.  Could you perhaps give an example of why you'd 
want to use this?   Libffi is mostly used for bridging between compiled 
and interpreted code.   In this case you're calling compiled code from 
compiled code through libffi.  If everything is known at compile time, 
why use libffi?   I am preparing my best "d'oh!" for when you clue me 
in.  :-)

Thanks,
