error call of overloaded strlen is ambiguous ERROR

[sherry]

Hi,

Background
I have downloaded gcc 2001/01/08 snapshot
and configured and compiled it with these flags:

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gcc-20010108.src/configure
--prefix=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gcc-20010108.install
--enable-libstdcxx-v3
--enable-long-long
--enable-cshadow-headers
--enable-namespaces
--enable-cxx-flags='-fhonor-std'
For compiling my cpp code I use -fhonor-std also.

Problem:
When compiling the code compiler complains with the following error:
call of overloaded  _some_function_like_strlen is ambiguous
/usr/include/string.h candidates are: unsigned int strlen(const char *)
/usr/local/include/g++-v3   /bits/std_cstring.h  .... size_t
std::strlen(const char *)

So it is confused about which function to choose.

Question
How can I tell the compiler that it should use the files
in /usr/local/include/g++-v3/bits ?


thx
