I manually modified config.status as to change:
    -L/usr/lib
to 
    -L/usr/lib64

(see diff attached)
Then compiled again with:
    ebuild /usr/portage/sci-libs/gdal/gdal-3.3.1.ebuild compile
and it worked.

Workaround - config.status

[Comment 7 vince.ice 2022-03-14 08:21:06 UTC]

Problem persists in version 3.4.1
Workaround still works

[Comment 8 Sam James 2022-03-14 09:12:46 UTC]

Need new build.log as lots has changed since.

FWIW, I did actually start a lot of work on this, but got bogged down in autotools hell with the huge amount of macros which needed fixing and doing the logic properly.

Upstream were very nice so no issue there, I just ended up moving on to something else. They're moving to CMake now too so this will resolve itself.

There is still a (huge) patch being applied though (gdal-3.3.0-libdir.patch) for the time being.

Obsolete given move to CMake in stable now.
