Synopsis: g++ fails with functions as arguments

State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  There are overloading functions of tolower:
      int tolower(int);
    and
      template<class T> T tolower(T, const locale&);
    that match the argument of transform.

using namespace std;
typedef map<string,int> Index;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Index index;
    ifstream ifs(argv[1]);
    string word;
    while(ifs >> word) {
        transform(word.begin(),word.end(),word.begin(),tolower);
        index[word]++;
    }
    cout.setf(ios::left);
    for(Index::const_iterator i = index.begin(); i != index.end(); ++i) {
        cout << setw(20) << i->first << " : " << i -> second << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

transform function won't accept to lower without a typecast.
for_each function will not work either for the same reason.
