I'm not completely sure it is really needed to document it, at least not in a prominent way. This is mostly an advanced option to help diagnosing issues. > > Option returns for example > "gdalinfo was compiled against GDAL 2.1.0dev and is running against GDAL > 2.1.0dev" > > Is it possible the compile and runtime versions are different? Yes, that could potentially happen. If you look at the "About" dialog of QGIS, you will see similar things. > What can > lead to such situation, PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH issues > and what trouble it makes? It depends on the utility. If it uses the C API and it has been compiled against version X and is running against libgdal Y > X, then it is likely to work. Otherwise there's a high chance it results in crashing.
