Gotcha - I know excatly what you're referring to now. Still doesn't
completely fix the problem, but hopefully the following patch will:

diff -r1.35 dyngen.c
1541c1541,1542
<                     fprintf(outfile, "extern char %s;\n", sym_name);
---

char %s;\n", sym_name);
1707c1708,1710
<                     } else {
