I don't understand the question.

This will cause r.in.gdal to be linked against libgdal, rather than
loading it at run-time. The GDAL package (libgdal and gdal.h) must be
installed in order for r.in.gdal to compile.

Without the --with-gdal switch, r.in.gdal will compile even if GDAL
isn't installed. You still need libgdal to be able to run r.in.gdal,
though. Also, this only works on systems which support dlopen() (e.g. 
not Cygwin).
