You can fix these specific errors by moving the definitions of fmt()
and centered() from the bottom of the file to the top.

But you may encounter many more such errors trying to compile GRASS
4.3 with a modern C compiler. You could try using an older compiler,
but that may not work with the headers from modern libraries.
