Ah yes, definitely a FAQ here.  I had the same problems till some
kind sole told me how to do it.

You need to use the compiler swtich   -U__STR__
The problem you're running into is that by default, all string functions
are inline.  You can't declare an inline function extern.

Once you link, you'll also run into problems.  you need to link with
-lcurses to get things to work properly.
