Hi, This is something most people doing GDAL development, and not wanting to install each time they build, have probably reinvented by themselves, so now master has a scripts/setdevenv.sh that you can source to define PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, GDAL_DATA and PYTHONPATH to point to the non-installed directories.
