Yes; although we need to check when that switch was added (it hasn't
always been there), and possibly update REQUIREMENTS.html accordingly.

If GDAL is a shared library, it normally includes dependency
information, so linking against libgdal automatically pulls in the
dependencies.

If it's a static library, it won't work (this has been reported
previously on one of the GRASS lists; this may be the reason why that
switch was added).
