In general, it's safest to avoid using --with-grass when building GDAL
for use with GRASS. That won't affect building GDAL (i.e. it isn't
related to your immediate problem), but it may cause problems either
building or running r.in.gdal.

These should only be warnings; it's common for those files to be
empty.

You are trying to link C++ code as if it was C, so the C++ runtime
isn't present. I suspect that you either have to use "g++" as the
linker, or explictly add some additional switches (I have no idea
which ones).

You appear to be using a newer version of GDAL than I have here
(1.1.3). In 1.1.3, the linker is determined by the setting of
LD_SHARED in GDALmake.opt (here, it's "c++ -shared"). If it's still
applicable to your version, try changing "gcc" to "g++".
