+The latest OpenEmbedded distribution (July 2008) ships with a very outdated *bb file for GDAL (1.3.2). The usual approach of simply re-naming the file to a more up-to-date version will fail as GDAL's compilation process has been standardized to the common compilation rules. Thus all the workarounds of the old *bb file are finally void. 
+
+For a very minimalistic compilation of GDAL for mobile devices you can use this *bb file (gdal_1.5.2.bb):
+
+{{{
+DESCRIPTION = "GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats"
+HOMEPAGE = "http://www.gdal.org/"
+LICENSE = "MIT"
+DEPENDS = "zlib"
+
+SRC_URI = "http://www.gdal.org/dl/${P}.tar.gz"
+
+inherit autotools pkgconfig binconfig
+
+#PARALLEL_MAKE = ""
+
+EXTRA_OECONF = "--without-perl \
+                --without-python \
+                --without-php \
+                --without-ruby \
+                --without-curl \
+                --with-libz=internal \
+                --with-png=internal \
+                --with-jpeg=internal \
+                --with-libtiff=internal \
+                --without-expat \
+                "
+FILES_${PN} = "\
+${bindir}/ \
+${libdir}/ \
+${datadir}/ \
+"
+
+do_stage() {
+        autotools_stage_all
+}
+}}}
+
+The file has to go into "./org.openembedded.dev/packages/gdal".  To compile GDAL you do a
+{{{
+bitbake gdal
+}}}
+
+in your local build path. 
+
+The very same *bb file has been reported as fix to the OpenEmbedded bug tracking system. However bug processing is slow for OpenEmbedded and geo-spatial toolkits aren't on the top priority list. Thus best practice is to check first if the changes are applied already.
