 as mentioned above:

 ''cats=no was indeed not working, fixed in r63321,2 (trunk, relbr70).''

 some tests (testvector ''testlinetopolyline'' for nc sample dataset
 attached later):

 {{{
 v.report map=testlinetopolyline at testvpolylines option=length
 cat|length
 1|3687.50148595
 2|2416.07670918
 3|3679.17100439
 }}}

 {{{
 v.build.polylines --verbose input=testlinetopolyline at testvpolylines
 output=catsmulti cats=multi

 v.report map=catsmulti at testvpolylines option=length
 cat|length
 1|9782.74919952
 2|9782.74919952
 3|9782.74919952
 }}}

 {{{
 v.build.polylines --verbose input=testlinetopolyline at testvpolylines
 output=catsfirst cats=first

 v.report map=catsfirst at testvpolylines option=length
 cat|length
 1|9782.74919952
 }}}

 {{{
 v.build.polylines --verbose input=testlinetopolyline at testvpolylines
 output=catsno

 v.report map=catsno at testvpolylines option=length
 cat|length
 Lese Objekte...
 }}}

 cats=no is now working (not tested in grass6.x).

 the second issue:

 ''some notes added to manual: r63781 (trunk), r63782 (relbranch7)''

 tested with
