I think you should add:
value toto_external (value unit) { /* unit is  necessary for this external
function */
   return toto ();
}

Here you would rather write:
external toto : unit -> int = "toto_external";;

Anyway whether your version fails, returns a wrong result or anything else
cannot be predicted
since it is related to the function call protocol of your machine.

Or maybe I am wrong since I did not try this on my computer  :-)

Hope this helps.
