Ok. That compiler has always used the new <sstream> header. I think
the problem is that while the old lexical_cast just used
std::stringstream the new version uses the more general
std::basic_stringstream<>. To say, it is a bit more exigent as to what
to take out from <sstream>, and the config system doesn't tell it that
the header is actually broken.

Genny.
