it doesn't sound like g++ does the right thing here.  but then, I
always thought that declaring functions with an explicit `extern' was
kind of silly and visually misleading (as you are not saying "this
piece of data lives elsewere", you are saying "this function has this
signature").

perhaps you could try to remove the `extern' from the declarations and
see if it helps?  if it does, I'll make the change in the repository.

you cannot use STL in C.  dispensation not granted ;).
