does 5.7's "make libs" create what you need?

(maybe this is more for Steve..)
cross-posted from the grass5 mailing list, re this change in GRASS CVS:

-		--with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config \
+		--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \


$ dpkg -L libgdal1-dev | grep gdal-config
/usr/bin/gdal-config
/usr/share/man/man1/gdal-config.1.gz

??? shouldn't it just be --with-gdal? Isn't that redundant now that GDAL
is not optional, omit altogether?



+		--without-odbc

The unixodbc-dev package is in the control file's "Build-Depends" list,
why not use it?
