 try:
 {{{
 make FMODE_OBJ=/lib/binmode.o
 }}}
 Not working because this has the effect of making binary-mode file
 translation the default, except that preopened files stdin, stderr, stdout
 remain text. The driver pipes are set to stdin and stdout in
 lib/db/dbmi_driver/driver.c.

 Anyway, I have added
 {{{
 # if fmode.o causes trouble, try:
 # FMODE_OBJ=/lib/binmode.o
 }}}

 to Grass.make in r55381 as a hint if problems with lib/gis/fmode.c arise.
 At the same time I have removed the `-lxdr` hack.

 {{{
 #include <io.h>
 ...
 _setmode(_fileno(stdin), _O_BINARY);
 _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_BINARY);
 }}}

 I have added that to lib/db/dbmi_driver/driver.c and it works! Submitted
 in r55382. Do we need to add this globally, i.e. to `gisinit()`?

 BTW, I think that `lib/dbmi_driver/driver.c` should be in
 `lib/db/dbmi_client/` for consistency, or IOW there were
 `lib/dbmi_client/start.c` is. It seems that `lib/dbmi_driver/` should only
 include db_d_* functions.
