Description:
The shared library is linked without a SONAME when using the GNU linker. Removing the "--without-libtool"-flag from the "configure"-call in the PKGBUILD activates libtool for linking. The resulting library then has a SONAME set.

Not having the SONAME in the shared library produced errors when using gdal in my cmake project - cmake internally looks up the soname in the ELF dynamic section of library files. This led to the somehow misleading error "runtime library [libgdal.so] in /usr/lib64 may be hidden by files in: /lib64".

Additional info:
* package version: 1.10.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
readelf -d /usr/lib/libgdal.so
-> No (SONAME) section.

When configured without the "--without-libtool"-option:
(...)
0x000000000000000e (SONAME) Library soname: [libgdal.so.1]
(...)
This task depends upon
