It still fails, see the error messages below.  I think that's
expected, since scm_c_hook_add is in libguile, which is built as a
dynamic library, so should be accessed via dl_open'ing libguile.  What
I suggested above is to access a function whose code is inside the
executable itself, i.e. some function in test-ffi-lib.c, such as
test_make_c_hook.

Here's the error message I got:
