[ELDK] string comparison Problem - ELDK version differences

So to sum up, you see a problem with ELDK 4.0 which is fixed in 4.2,
correct?

The changes from ELDK 4.0 to 4.2 that may hit you seem to be in the
compiler, so basically it's the difference between a 4.0.0 and a 4.2.2
gcc.  Those changes alone are pretty massive.

Now one could indeed start to look for the actual problem, but what does
that yield?  Why don't you simply use ELDK 4.2 and be happy?  It seems
you are not even using GNU/Linux, so your application should easily be
compilable with ELDK 4.2 also.

I don't think investing time into an old toolchain is a particularly
good idea.

Cheers
  Detlev
