Could it be the optimisation settings?  There is -Oi which is use 
instrinsic functions for strcmp etc (i.e. compiler generated).  I think 
when this is on, the compiler generates the functions when it sees them, 
but doesn't realise they should be in the std:: namespace.  Debug builds 
don't enable this.

(It may be implicitly enabled by another -O option such as -O2)

Just a guess.
