This might be a bug in the gcc 2.8.0 library.  Another user had this
exact problem and I successfully solved it by compiling with
optimizations enabled ('-O' switch).

The link errors most likely happen because the String class functions
are inlined in the <_string.h> header file, but this is the only place
where they are kept.  If you compile without optimizations, inlining is
not enabled, and thus the compiler will look in the library to find the
code for the String class and fail.  To me this indicates a problem with
the library.

Please, could somebody who knows more about the library tell me if I am
completely off-base here?  Thanks!
