Bill,

You might try editing GDALmake.opt and removing libidn (or -lidn) from the
link library list.  I had never heard of it before, but a google search
suggests:

   http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/

I imagine it is a dependency of one of the things that gdal depends on,
though I don't know why this would have changed from 1.3.2.

Best regards,
