Well, everything looks normal except that configure doesn't see 
OGRRegisterAll in libgdal.so.

Can you check in the config.log and look for the part that tests for 
OGR.  If it had passed you would have had something like this:

------------
configure:7550: checking whether we should include OGR support......
configure:7566: checking for gdal-config
configure:7584: found /usr/local/bin/gdal-config
configure:7597: result: /usr/local/bin/gdal-config
configure:7616: checking for OGRRegisterAll in -lgdal
configure:7647: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lgdal   -lm 
-lstdc++  -L/usr/local/lib -lgdal >&5
configure:7650: $? = 0
configure:7653: test -s conftest
configure:7656: $? = 0
configure:7668: result: yes
configure:7741: result:         OGR enabled (-L/usr/local/lib -lgdal).
------------

What do you get?  Maybe the error messages will give us a hint?  Maybe 
we're missing the "-L/usr/local/lib" for some reason in line 7647.
