You can get the address of a C function with something like

   CFunctionDescriptor addressOf: 'unlink'

If the function is not defined, the returned object will satisfy #isNull:

   st> (CFunctionDescriptor addressOf: 'unlink') isNull
   false
   st> (CFunctionDescriptor addressOf: 'aaa') isNull
   true
