If you want to try this, my fork of Gerald's swig code contains now all 
necessary code to handle struct outputs,

https://github.com/forthy42/swig/

and Gforth git head's libcc.fs knows how to deal with it (as usual, a Debian 
distribution will arrive on Thursday).

The stack effect of a C function returning a struct is then

( ptr param1 .. param_n -- )

assigning the stuct to ptr.  Typical use

{ | buf[ struct-size ] }
buf[ param1 .. param_n function

What's missing is the code to adjust the stack effect for these C bindings.
