GCC 2.95.1 static string won't compile on SCO-OSR5

["+ +" <wrobbie@my-Deja.com>]

Hellow,

I'm trying to compile the following example: 

----------
#include <string>

class ctest
{
public:
        static string   foo;
};

string  ctest::foo;

void main()
{
        ctest::foo = "bar";
}
----------

Which is no problem using EGCS 1.1.1 on the same machine. GCC 2.95.1 won't
do it however:

----------
[ildev2] /usr/rob> /usr/local/gcc-2.95.1/bin/g++ test.cc
/usr/local/gcc-2.95.1/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-
sco3.2v5.0.0/2.95.1/libstdc++.a(cstrmain.o): fatal error: symbol `__as__t12basic_string3ZcZt18string_char_traits1ZcZt24__default_alloc_tem
plate2b0i0PCc` multiply-defined, also in file /usr/tmp/cc4lMcjd.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [ildev2] /usr/rob> ----------

I can't make any sense of this error... Does this mean my GCC install is broken (again), or is this invalid C++?

Thanks!
