Comment (by warmerdam):

 Dear grass team.  I would humbly submit that making anyone who wants to
 use the grass libraries also link with fmode.o is risky and that it would
 be safer to actually enforce binary behavior at the open() call(s).  In
 other packages my practice has been to always pass O_BINARY to open(), and
 to predefine it to zero if it isn't already defined.
