The quick fix is:

1. In lib/gmath/Makefile, remove $(FFTWLIB) from the definition of
EXTRA_LIBS.

2. In include/Make/Grass.make and/or include/Make/Grass.make.in,
change the line:

	GMATHLIB      = -l$(GMATH_LIBNAME) $(GISLIB) 
to:
	GMATHLIB      = -l$(GMATH_LIBNAME) $(FFTWLIB) $(GISLIB)

A better fix is to either build FFTW as a shared library, or (for a
static FFTW library) compile with -fPIC.
