So far, so good - this is an old C trick, which is quite useful, but may
not be known as well as it should be - but...

(try "extern double fund_consts[...]"; that declaration makes it an
array of "int")

...only if "fund_consts" is *defined* in the same "elsewhere", or at
least declared with a size other than N_FCONSTS (since the value of the
expression "(sizeof(fund_consts)/sizeof(double))" depends on the size
declared for "fund_consts"), which seems unlikely - if it's defined
there, why declare it all over again later in the same module?
