[GRASS5] current d.vect/symbol code and gcc 2.96

[Benjamin Ducke]

Markus,

don't waste your time on it. GCC 2.96 is a RedHat special.
It's a severly broken version of GCC with some last-minute
patches that was probably never meant for
productive used -- which did not stop RedHat from including
it in their distro.
Use versions 2.95.1 to 2.95.3 if you want to test an older
generation of GCC.

Cheers,

Benjamin
