I'm not sure if I followed correctly, but you can't replace a function
declaration with a constant int. The value for the function will be used
(mostly) as an argument to the call instruction, which won't really be able
to operate on an int. It isn't clear to me what you're trying to do
exactly, replace the call to puts with an indirect call to the pointer
value that correspond to puts in your current process? You would need to at
least cast this pointer value to the right type, and use an indirect call.

Best,
