Can you be more specific as to how mlnlffigen is failing on these
libraries?  I know that other have had some (small) successes with
using mlnlffigen.

Note that MLton's mlnlffigen is a "port" of SML/NJ's ml-nlffigen tool.
 The differences are minimal with respect to how the tools process C
files; the more significant difference is in the generated code that
is specific to the compiler's foreign function interface.  But, the
more important point is that we didn't write the tool and might not
understand all of its limitations.
