not completely...:-)

strclass.h also is broken--it requests String.h unconditionally.
What happened here?

Did you remember to compile with optimization?  GCC won't inline _any_
functions unless you optimize, and tries instead to find the compiled
version of the functions in the library (to avoid compiling them
multiple times and causing linkage problems...)  This problem comes
up more often wrt the iostream stuff---I'm surprised all the necessary
iostream functions were found.

>Now I am totally confused. The only explanation I see is that
That optimization misfeature is rather counterintuitive...don't
worry. :-)
