libgis build failure on alpha

[hamish]

Hi,

there was an error building the 6.4.3 Debian package on the Alpha platform. it happens when linking libgis:

Replying to hamish:

there was an error building the 6.4.3 Debian package on the Alpha platform. it happens when linking libgis:

(Copied from #2085)

Alpha seems to have problems with function pointers in shared libraries. This may just be an issue with the linker flags for shared libraries (it probably doesn't help that Shlib.make expects the variable to be called SHLIB_LDFLAGS when 6.x's Platform.make uses SHLIB_LD_FLAGS).

GRASS 6.4.3 is now compiling on Alpha:
