Guy,

I believe this is a missing entry for safileio.o in the makefile and I
believe it is fixed in CVS. I have prepared a new beta release of shapelib
1.3.0 that should have the fix:

   http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/shapelib-1.3.0b2.tar.gz

I'd actually push ahead and make this the 1.3.0 release except that
now there is discussion of adding 64bit integer support for wide
integer fields which seems like something that should be addressed
in the 1.3.0 release.

Best regards,
