Not sure why gdal isn't picked up, but as the developers are very quick to
point out, it is almost pointless for users to bother installing and linking
GDAL to Xastir.  Xastir does *nothing* with GDAL for rasters, and has very,
very limited support for vector data through the OGR library (part of GDAL)

There was a plan to make Xastir use GDAL for rasters, but it never got finished.

You can link gdal to Xastir by following the instructions.  But it buys you
nothing.   That is why the instructions say "most users won't need it," and
why the section in "Install GDAL" says "This is an entirely optional install, 
and is pretty much unnecessary.[...]It is recommended that the casual user 
skip this step."
