Thanks, for pointing that one out again - I can reproduce that from the IDE
in release mode, but interestingly the release libs built from the bjam
command line build OK, I'm not sure what the difference is here.

There is also an even less intrusive fix: which is to just #undef strcmp for
that compiler (patch below):
