Try this patch (attached), which addresses the same problem in other 
files.

in "ap.h", if you use the "extern const" variant of the path, you'll 
probably want to define those _CS_* objects in some translation unit, if 
you don't want to assume that references to them will be optimized away.

BTW, src/ap.h and modelgen/ap.h are identical (same patch applied to 
both), and since modelgen builds with -I $(top_srcdir)/src, modelgen's 
copy can probably be removed to avoid confusion.
