[Xastir] Subject: Failing: ../configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff"

I'm using the following instruction set
http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:Debian_Jessie and when I run the
configure command with the CPPFLAGS setting as provided I get a very
strange error, "C compiler cannot create executables".  See the attached
config.log for all the detail I have to offer at present.  I have second
raspberry pi 3 that is configured with the same OS version and the a
current git pull of the Xastir git configuration which just ran the
configure with the flags with no apparent problem.  The one difference I am
aware of is that I ran the GDAL install yesterday on the pi with the
problem.

On the pi that I did not build GDAL, the ../configure
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff" when it finishes has all options as yes
except for the GDAL option as one would expect.  Running ../configure
without the flags provided has all options as yes except for GDAL and
Geotiff which I believe is also as expected.

On the pi that I did build GDAL on the ../configure
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff" exits with an error 77.  Running
../configure without the flags provided has all options as yes including
GDAL  and no to Geotiff which I believe is as expected.

Most of what you are doing is way outside my wheelhouse, but I was trying
to include all the options.  My primary question is there a way to get all
options installed.  If not, do you have any ideas how I restore the pi with
the GDAL build so that I can get configure to run and provide the geotiff
option and dropping the GDAL.

I am more than willing to do the grunt work on troubleshooting this if
someone is willing to act a mentor/guide a point me a things to try or look
for.
