This is the older version of the C++ library for gcc. There's a newer
version that's imminent that fixes this and many other problems. I believe
stlport also addresses this somehow.

std::strstream is a different class, from the header <strstream>.
std::stringstream is in <sstream>. This header is missing from this older
version of the C++ library.
