I messed up when testing this patch. It actually does not solve the
issue.
It appears that bindgen will emit an extern "C" declaration for the
missing C functions, even though they are not in the symbol table. When
we add the rust helpers, the declarations emitted based on the
non-existent C functions will mask the rust helper functions.
We can circumvent this by using another name for our helper. While it
works, it is not fixing the root cause. I am not sure why bindgen emits
these functions even though they are not in the symbol table at the end.
At any rate, the following is a workaround:
