Is it the end of the HDF-related log? I think it should be more
information after these two tests (in case you are using recent
snapshot).

Yes, both tests are failed.

Looks like configure fails to detect a library, but build system does it
successful. Anyhow GDAL on your system supports HDF4. Otherwise you
can't get gdalinfo output for HDF files.

Are you sure GRASS using recently compiled GDAL? Is it possible you have
outdated GDAL binaries somewhere in the system?

Yes, you did it already!
