SOLUTION: Cross-references between dynamically loaded modules under AIX

It turns out is was NOT a dynamic loading problem after all.  One of my
colleagues found a new NumPy manual (March 99) that contains a chapter on how
to extend NumPy.  And it turns out that one should call the function
import_array() in the modules initialization function.	Then it works!

Now the only mystery is why it worked on the Alpha architecture without that
call... :-)

BTW, it looks like a very nice NumPy manual:

Thanks for all your suggestions!
