I believe --with-grass is the default. You need to explicitly use
--without-grass.

(for those playing along at home: this is for stand-alone GRASS support,
i.e. support for GRASS maps via GDAL without having GRASS installed on
your system. Of note to the folks interested in interfacing proprietary
software with GRASS is the fact that GDAL is licensed under a X/MIT
style license, and libgrass is licensed as LGPL.)


also,

http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/grass/
"When building GDAL for use with GRASS the following options are
suggested. They minimize dependencies on external shared libraries, and
avoid some stuff of no use to GDAL.

./configure --with-grass=no --with-png=internal --with-jpeg=internal 
            --with-gif=internal --with-libtiff=internal 
            --with-geotiff=internal --with-libz=internal --without-ogr
            --without-pg --without-ogdi
"

Although personally I'd try to use OGR if I could.
