Agneta,

It looks like you are trying to build against the GDAL "build" directory
rather than where it was installed.  This is not normally supported.  In
this case the linker used by mapserver is complaining that it does
not understand the format of the .la file, a "libtool" thing.

I would suggest ensuring you do a "make install" in the GDAL
build directory, and then using the gdal-config that gets installed,
likely /usr/local/bin/gdal-config.

Best regards,
