I did some digging around in the configuration script and finally got GDAL
to build by changing line 24687 (expat_lib_flags="-L$expat_prefix/lib
-lexpat") to (expat_lib_flags="-L$expat_prefix/lib64 -lexpat").

I think there must be something wrong with the --with-expat-lib switch, as I
could not get it to work, but I am not familiar with these config files. The
experts might like to take a look.
