Stephanie,

It looks like the list of include files has been corrupted somewhat as
the /home/steph/grass5/include doesn't have a -I in front of it.  You could
fix this by hand in GDALmake.opt ; however, if you want HDF support you will
need a more recent snapshot of GDAL than 1.1.7.  You can download a nightly
snapshot from the GDAL web site.

Are you wanting to use r.in.gdal from within GRASS to read HDF files?  If
so, I would encourage you *not* to build GDAL itself with GRASS support as
this results in two copies of the grass library getting linked into r.in.gdal.
You will need to download and build the HDF libraries before building an HDF
enabled GDAL.  See the HDF format page (or perhaps the build page?) for more
information.

Good luck,
