[LLVMdev] Linking with C Library

[Graham Wakefield]

If the OCaml bindings include the functionality in  
llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary, perhaps you can use the functions there to  
manually request the puts symbol?

e.g. llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::LoadLibraryPermanently() and  
llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::SearchForAddressOfSymbol() ...?

Just a thought.
