No ;-) I use all the time my dev version of GDAL and have never recompiled 
QGIS to be able to do it (provided the GDAL version you link against QGIS is 
>= the GDAL version used to compile QGIS). I'm on Linux. It might perhaps be 
harder on other platforms : I just haven't tried to do it on them.

I just have to make sure that my gdal shared object has the same name (or 
creates a symlink) as the one expected by QGIS (libgdal1.6.0.so.1 in my case), 
and add in LD_LIBRARY_PATH the name of the directory with this custom build.
