Usually the case for Universal symbols is not significant, but lots of 
time the case for global symbols are.

It is just that if I set the C compiler to exact case, it tells the 
linker to also use exact case when resolving symbols, and while the 
uppercase transfer vectors work when building the shared image, they do 
not work when linking against it.

I have not been able to figure out how to use the Linker option file to 
make exact case aliases for the transfer vector.

I have looked, but did not find anything.
