Ari,

Thanks. My problem was the presence in /usr/local/include of 1.6 GDAL 
headers, and that directory being ahead of the build tree includes. I 
build without --prefix= set in ./configure, so default to /usr/local.

The only problem I see regularly is that ltmain.sh needs editing in one 
place to change the path that linking looks for, something like the remark 
in the Wiki MinGW build comments.
