0007636: Trouble calling a Mac Foundation function via FFI

Description

Reported on vm-dev <http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2011-May/008167.html> [^]

I'm having trouble calling a Mac Foundation function via FFI. It appears to
be the plugin for the Mac 4.2.5 VM. There was a discussion at http://forum.world.st/FFI-to-call-Mac-Carbon-functions-td3507842.html [^]

The meat of it is:
        After I put a link to the Foundation lib in the VM's Resources
folder, I compiled:

        CarbonFunctions class>>NSMakeRectWithX: xFloat y: yFloat w:
widthFloat h: hFloat
                <apicall: void* 'NSMakeRect' (float float float float) module: 'Foundation'>
                ^self externalCallFailed

        DoIt:
        CarbonFunctions
                NSMakeRectWithX: 0.0
                y: 0.0
                w: 100.0
                h: 100.0.

        Error: Unable to find function address

Other relevant info:
* I am able to call libc functions

Thanks.
Sean
