I see the problem now.

This seems to compile (with a warning):

    typedef long long HsInt64;

    int foo (int); // annoying decl we want to ignore

    // foo :: Int64 -> IO Int64
    inline HsInt64 call_foo (HsInt64 x)
        {
        static HsInt64 foo(HsInt64);
        return foo(x);
        };

I haven't actually tested it, but it may be a solution.
