well
primitiveFunctionPointer := self functionPointerFor: primitiveIndex  
inClass: lkupClass.
	
in C code returns a 'void *'
the self cCoerce: primitiveFunctionPointer to: 'long'
would make that a othervalue  = (long)(void*) value

I note the
InterpreterSimulator>>functionPointerFor: primIndex inClass: lookupClass
	"Override Interpreter to handle the external primitives caching.   
See also 	internalExecuteNewMethod."

	^(primIndex between: 1 and: MaxPrimitiveIndex)
		ifTrue: [primitiveTable at: primIndex + 1]

which instead of an address being return we get a Symbol ByteSymbol  
(#primitivePushFalse)

I'd guess you need a #coerceTo:sim:.  on Symbol to return self.
This of course depends on what primitiveFunctionPointer is used for  
later.
