Comment (by rwbarton):

 Could we, instead of
 {{{
 EF_(raiseExceptionHelper);
 ...
 /* exact prototype dectaration, assignment and call: */
 {
     W_ (*ghcFunPtr)(void *, void *, void *);
     ghcFunPtr = ((W_ (*)(void *, void *, void *))raiseExceptionHelper);
 }}}
 generate a local extern function declaration, like
 {{{
 {
     W_ (*ghcFunPtr)(void *, void *, void *);
     extern W_ (*raiseExceptionHelper)(void *, void *, void *);
     ghcFunPtr = ((W_ (*)(void *, void *, void *))raiseExceptionHelper);
 }}}
 (sorry if I got the syntax wrong)?
