Thanks for the help! It turns out that we have our own minmax.h and it was stomping on min in basic_string.h. I only had to move the #include for our minmax.h below where the basic_string.h is included and the programs compiled.

Look for a preprocessor macro which might be messing up the header file. One way to do this is to run the compiler with --save-temps to generate a .ii file. Look for the basic_string.h code in the .ii file. Compare it to the same code in the .h file. See if there are any interesting differences. Ian
