I just build grass --with-cairo, but when I try to create

I'm on debian etch using the libcairo2 & libcairo2-dev 1.2.4-4
packages.
Is this a problem with my cairo implementation or is it a problem
in the cairo driver ?

It was as simple as compiling libcairo2 1.4.14...
Now it works !
see also previous discussion from late November:

Yep, that's the same problem as Debian stable does not have 1.4.14, yet,
not even in backports. But it's not a big issue to compile it, as it
does not have any fancy build-deps and so it's enough to get the cairo
source package (http://packages.debian.org/source/testing/cairo), apply
the patches and run dpkg-buildpackage.
