There is another option --- for me to fix configure so it checks gdal for
the presence of rtree functions, and to not build or link in the local
rtree if it has it.  That could take some time, because tomorrow's a very
busy day at work for me, as is Tuesday, and Wednesday's a holiday that's
already booked solid with a family outing.

I know how to do it, it'll just take a little time.
