Since it looks like the functions around this address are unrelated to file accesses, then we may suppose that we have an error due to the modifications made by install_name_tool to the binary.
Try without using this tool.
If my hypothesis is correct, you will have to load the libraries explicitely at run-time as we’ve always done with cffi…
