From the code, it seems that the extern "C" specification is commented out together with Max-specific code for the setup function.

Yeah, it works differently in Max/MSP. As far as I understand it, Max/MSP calls the setup() function for externals in a different way. Each external object has a main() function, so they can't all be loaded into the global namespace. In Pd each external has a unique setup function name that is loaded into the global namespace.
