Research direction
Start by inspecting src/core/api/IPAddress.cpp, include/core/api/Print.h, and the conflicting String.h and <cstring.h> includes under the Atmel Studio 7 include paths. Reproduce the reported CoreBuild failure and determine how the headers are being resolved. Done means the affected build resolves both headers correctly and the libc functions strlen, memcpy, and memcmp are available.

Description
The Arduino API renamed "WString.h" to "String.h"
Given that "string.h" is a part of libc, and that most modern operating systems implement sort of "fuzzy" case-matching in their filesystems, this seems ripe for generating confusion.
And in fact, it seems to break builds when sketches have been imported into Atmel Studio 7, if they use the ArduinoAPI - when ipaddress.cpp is built as part of the core, it includes both <string.h> and "String.h", and gets api/string.h for both of them, leaving the libc functions undefined:
Target "CoreBuild" in file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Studio\7.0\Vs\Compiler.targets" from project "c:\users\rnovaes\Documents\Atmel Studio\7.0\ArduinoSketch7\ArduinoSketch7\ArduinoCore\ArduinoCore.cppproj" (target "Build" depends on it):

There is some discussion here: https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/7-compilation-error-arduino-nano-every-sketch
The exact problem may be that AS7 adds -I"..\include\core\api" that isn't needed (or used in an Arduino IDE build), but it does illustrate the sort of confusion that can/will occur.
