Julien,

I am afraid you are quite correct.  I had noticed this and talked to Andrey
about it briefly, but then I forgot to ensure it was corrected before the
release.

In the meantime I believe you can just add the extra defines in the
gdal/frmts/gtiff/libtiff/GNUmakefile.

Change:

ALL_C_FLAGS	=	$(CFLAGS) -DZIP_SUPPORT -DPIXARLOG_SUPPORT -I../../zlib

to:

ALL_C_FLAGS	=	$(CFLAGS) -I../../zlib \
			-DCCITT_SUPPORT -DPACKBITS_SUPPORT -DLZW_SUPPORT \
			-DTHUNDER_SUPPORT -DNEXT_SUPPORT -DLOGLUV_SUPPORT \
			-DZIP_SUPPORT -DPIXARLOG_SUPPORT

I have created a bug report to track this problem:

   http://208.24.120.44/show_bug.cgi?id=616

I will try to issue a GDAL 1.2.3 within a few weeks since this is a fairly
noteworthy flaw in 1.2.2.

Best regards,
