Far better than trying to probe ld.so's function descriptor table, I should rather ammend the lisp compiler to write a static function structure into each produced C source file before compilation, with the structure's pointer element statically initialized to the static function in the same file. I then use the address for this structure at runtime in setting the lisp symbol's function definition. This should work, right?
