Result looks nice!

...but the third one succeeds.

It is normal behaviour. Configure performs several tests, because HDF
binaries can be compiled with different optional libraries, so we check
all possibilities.

I have no idea with except of wrong GDAL binaries used by the GRASS.
Try to ensure again you are using the right ones.

gdal_translate helps you to convert that ASTERs in any GDAL supported
format. GeoTIFF will be used by default (so all georeferencing will be
preserved). Don't forget that you should run gdalinfo on your file the
first and select one of the subdatasets for further processing.
