Benjamin,

the compiler is in use on grass.itc.it (it's actually used by
the cron job building the Saturday's binaries). For various
reasons I stick with that old RH version on that machine (of
course security patched).

So I don't have much choice. And GRASS was working since
2001 completely on this machine - that's why I assume
a bug rather that a compiler problem.
