[Ecls-list] SIMPLE-ERROR: In interpreted code, attempted to call a foreign function but ECL was build without support for that.

The CFFI model is simply too rigid: they assume that libraries can be
loaded at run time, always. Instead ECL supports also a model in which
libraries are linked with the compiled code, being available that way. I
fear there is no way to work around this but using ECL's own FFI mingled
with CFFI
