Even if this fixes the compilation problems, attempts to run GRASS
modules may fail due to loading the wrong version of GDAL.

In short, it's only safe to have multiple versions of a library
installed if each version has a different "soname". AFAICT, all
versions of GDAL have the soname "libgdal.so.1".
