The fix is based on the hack proposed in

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-09/msg01957.html

which is IMHO a hack, not a fix. Anyway, the hack has been applied to
later versions of gcc. Therefore I would suggest to not submit the
local hack for r.terraflow, but suggest to add the patch to

http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#AIX

Anybody who wants to compile C++ modules using open() on AIX with LFS
and a buggy gcc can then apply the patch. The patch seems to be too
specialized to warrant submission to trunk even though no fixed gcc
seems to be available for AIX, yet.

PS: AIX is apparently deviating from UNIX standards so far that it can
hardly be called a UNIX system any more...
