[bug#68606] [PATCH 0/2] Update GDAL and build Java bindings.

[Roman Scherer <roman@burningswell.com>]

Hello Guix,

this patch series updates GDAL to v3.8.3 and builds the Java bindings.

While updating GDL I run into issues with the validate-runpath phase. I could
not get it passing by tweaking the cmake build flags. For some reason the
Pyhton bindings did not pick up the right runtime path and the
validate-runpath phase failed. After looking around a bit I saw this can be
manually fixed with patchelf. I tested the Python and Java bindings by
importing GDAL and registering all drivers.

I also had to remove the deletion of frmts/zlib since the cmake build file
adds a library under that path. Tweaking the build file to remove adding the
library caused the build to fail.

Could you please review the patche series?

Thanks, Roman.
