You probably have GDAL 1.1.9 (or the latest from CVS), right?

The name of the GDAL library has changed in GDAL 1.1.9 and as a result 
this test in MapServer's configure is broken.  There is a fix for this 
in the MapServer CVS for both 4.0.x and 4.1.

In case you can't update from CVS, I have made a copy of the latest 
configure script for 4.0.x available at
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/ms-401-configure.tar.gz
(note that this URL may be up only for a few days)
