To reduce the number of external dependencies of GDAL, please configure with --with-geotiff=internal --with-libtiff=internal since GDAL contains copies of these libraries. Reproducible: Always
And then when a security vulnerability comes around we're supposed to keep track of all the programs that contain copies of these libraries? Thank you for your but we'll have to decline.
Hint: You need to know that the GDAL main developer and the geotiff/libtiff main developer are the same person.
If you have a reason that makes sense from the point of view of a distro that tries to reduce compilation of the same code and ease maintainability, do tell. But you'll need good reasons since it's Gentoo policy to use shared libraries whereever possible.
