This is a problem with Pyrex 0.8. Pyrex 0.9 should deal with that just fine.

staticforward char **__pyx_f;

that is more or less the same as your solution.

Could you send me your *complete* test output (i.e. don't forget to pass
both -v and verbose parameters), please?. Also, add some machine and
compiler info.
