The problem with "undefined references" in libgeos_c is on the GDAL side.
Long story is here:
http://geos.refractions.net/pipermail/geos-devel/2006-July/002436.html

Unfortunately I have no idea why libtool can't link GDAL with GEOS
if used.

Frank,
Do you have any idea?

Maciej,

As you can read in my post on the GEOS list, use --without-libtool when
building GDAL:

./configure --without-libtool ...rest of your options.

This change is transparent for you, I mean you won't notice any
changes in GDAL behaviour or you won't need to take any further steps
to build it. Just pass it and build as usually: make, make install.
It should work. I tested it today with GDAL CVS and GEOS 2.2.3.

Cheers
