This is a complete shot in the dark, but it looks like it doesn't know
about the version of tolower with a std::locale parameter.  The errors
seem to imply that 1.33 calls it using template argument deduction,
while 1.35 specifies the template arguments explicitly.

It might be as simple as including a header, adding a using
declaration, or explicitly scoping the call.

Good luck,
