Getting a bundle to load symbols from the main app bundle

I've got a program that dynamically loads bundles, and I'd like those 
bundles to load a symbol from the main application bundle. 
Specifically, I'd like them to get a hold of the value of a global 
debug variable.

I'm currently doing this from the loadable bundle.

__debug_level = (int *)CFBundleGetDataPointerForName(mainBundle, CFSTR
("__debug_level"));
   
But `CFBundleGetDataPointerForName()' returns NULL in this case. When 
I do this call from the main application bundle, I get garbage. So 
I'm wondering if my main app's symbols aren't getting exported properly.
