Using "template " in front of this statement, like Bjarne III seems to 
indicate:

#ifdef __GNUC__
template wchar_t* string_char_traits<wchar_t>::move(wchar_t *, wchar_t const *, unsigned int);
template wchar_t* string_char_traits<wchar_t>::move(wchar_t *, wchar_t const *, unsigned int);
#endif

gives me an error message when compiling:
