Michael,

I would suggest configuring --without-tiff to ensure the TIFF handling
goes through GDAL instead of the more direct MapServer libtiff support.  If
you want the direct support, then please ensure your GDAL is built with
an external libtiff 3.5.7 as well.  Note that this is fairly antique
and the builtin version of libtiff in GDAL is essentially 3.6.0 beta.

Best regards,
