That code looks fine, except for one thing:

        (*MR_io_stdout_stream)(&stdout_stream);
	(*MR_io_print_to_stream)(type_info, stdout_stream, value);

You need a cast from MR_TypeInfo to Word here, since the type of the
first argument to MR_io_print_to_stream is Word rather than MR_TypeInfo.

You should recompile everything and look at the warning messages.
