Comment (by cgsbob):

 I changed the Makefile with the filter you specified below.  Now there are
 problems with vect.i.

 > Right. The Makefile generates gisdefs.i from gisdefs.h, removing the
 declarations of any variadic functions using grep. One of the declarations
 which it removes is G_asprintf(), which has the above __attribute__
 declaration on the following line, so it gets left behind, separated from
 the actual function declaration.

 semicolon isn't on the same line, it will remove subsequent lines until it
 finds the semicolon.
