Shawn,

The above are irrelevant for GDAL - they are OpenEV dependencies.

The above should generally be fine, though you weren't specific
about versions.  You might want to keep an eye on the
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints for some details on
HDF4 and HDF5.

I am not aware of any specific dependencies on a libstdc++ version
in GDAL.  Generally the important thing is just to use the regular
versions that is associated with the g++ you are building with and
to avoid mixing or overriding.
