no change from me.

if you need to further investigate the problem the only hint that i can give 
you is that if you change the reconfigure gdal without a "make clean", stale 
files can pollute the build. but i don't see how this can give the error you 
reported.

do you mean libmfhdf.so of the hdf driver inside gdal?

BTW: which distribution do you use?

really i can't imagine the x86-64 binutils being much different from x86 ones.

cheers,
