Extern "C" function pointers and C++ function pointers are different
types, and BPL isn't set up to handle extern "C" at all.  On a
conforming implementation, any attempt to wrap extern "C" functions
without first building C++ thin wrappers will fail.  That said, if
things are compiling your compiler probably ignores that part of the
type and there's some other problem.
