This is strange that you get unchanged output.  A first reason is how the
the `cdef extern from *:' is documented to work.  Another is that it works
as documented for me (not on your problem, of course, but for similar ones).
A last reason, admittedly vaporous, is that Pyrex sources finality is to
control how C code is generated, and so, it is likely that changing Pyrex
sources will change generated C.  I'm sorry to not have helped you better,
and I wish you will succeed in finding an elegant solution to your problem.
