Unfortunately it's not that much help. It complains that following methods 
couldn't be instantiated:

basic_cstring<char>::basic_cstring<char>( std::string const& ).
basic_cstring<char>::assign( std::string const&, ... ).

This is true. But ... it's not supposed to be instantiated. There are three 
reasons for this to happened:

1. Somehow/somewhere basic_cstring template parameter gets deduced 
incorrectly (char instead of char const).

2. Compiler trying to instantiate all the method of basic_cstring<char>, 
even if they are not used.

3. There is a genuine error in a code. But I guess other compilers would 
caught it by now.

So still clueless.
