I searched the Debian package database and there is no
sstream file in any of the packages for Debian stable, 
only in testing/unstable. I use the libstdc++2.10-dev
version  1:2.95.2-13 from current Debian stable, which 
doesn't contain sstream.

Well, I certainly don't want to go inte the hazzle of mixing my 
stable Debian with lib files from unstable (libstdc++2.10-dev 
1:2.95.4-7 from unstable requires a newer libc6 and newer compiler).
