[gdal-dev] Building GDAL 2.0.0 without ogr on Linux fails

[Even Rouault]

Kor,

I'm half surprised this ended up being broken. At the time of 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc46_gdal_ogr_unification, it still worked 
apparently but I might have accidentaly broken it later. 

Anyway I was wondering if it was worth fixing that? as it might be a continuing 
maintenance pain... This was something I actually considered during RFC 46 (I 
mean dropping support for --without-ogr).
