yes it is rather confusing. I think it could do with a tidy up..
I wonder whether you could email me a copy of your 

DynamicStrings.c
and also 

email me a copy of DynamicString.c after it has gone through the C
preprocessor. Ie capture the `gcc .... DynamicStrings.c' command
and run it by hand adding a `-E' option and replacing -o
DynamicStrings.o with `-o foobar'

and email me foobar.

I'll try removing the p2c toupper uglyness and we shall rely on
using ./configure to catch this instead.

Many thanks,

Gaius
