I have a few comments:
1: Why "comparative" and "source" instead of left/right?
Source implies that there's copying going on, which there isn't (at least in terms of the API).
s1/s2 or l/r is much more understandable.
2: For that many lines, you might as well explain what's going on:
/* Indicate whether string c is less than, greater than, or
equal to string s */
The comments are useless without the standard, and superfluous
with it.

Huh?
I don't see why this is needed, unless you messed up your build environment.

What's the effect of all this on size of the binary?
I see that all this ends up adding ~150 lines.
Is shortening the length of the variable names really useful?
