Look in config.log to see what the error is and you should be able to work 
it out from there. However I suspect you may need to change the paths at 
the top of the gdal-config script to match where you have actually 
installed it, rather than where I installed it before I generated 
wingrass-extralibs.tar.gz. It's not designed to be fool-proof, just a help 
to save effort in compiling all the other libraries. Although maybe 
long-term we could move away from using the gdal-config command in the 
configure script to get away from problems like  this. I think everything 
its used for should probably be able to be achieved without it.
