You have broken C header files if <string.h> won't compile.

Try this:

cat <<EOF >broken.c
#include <string.h>
int main(void) { return 0; }
EOF
gcc -Wall -o broken broken.c

Does that work or does it give an error? If an error, your compiler is
broken. You can send the above 5 lines to the maintainers of the gcc package
you are using.

But first check that you haven't done a partial upgrade of gcc (e.g.
upgraded the binaries but not the headers). If I were you I'd install a
fresh copy of SuSE on another machine and try it again.
