I tried to compile the GRASS 57 snapshot as well as the older 5.7.0
source, but both processes were terminated with a gcc error. Previous
attempts did not result in such error prompts.
./configure
--with-grass50=/home/misc/software/grass/grass53_exp_2004_08_07
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
I upgraded some packages under debian and probably some dependencies
caused gcc to upgrade as well.
I just compiled the latest 5.7-cvs on the lastest Debian/testing with
no problems. Perhaps some of the gcc-3.4 -dev packages from
Debian/Unstable slipped in to your system?

that was the case, it is a known bug of debian unstable gcc3.3 -- I had to
upgrade binutils to unstable as well to get it working again.
now back to testing and keeping my hands off unstable ,-)
