I tried it at a similar environment and following can be seen:

If you give the configure option "--with-libGeoIP" *without* a real path via
an equate, configure asumes a "yes" which is used in every compile config test.
This currupts every configure test since on, because "-lGeoIP" is attached but not
found. "configure" thinks -pthread is missing but in real libGeoIP is the cause for
the failure of this compile test.

The autoconf setup and thus configure does not search for the location
or verify the existence of a library given by "--with-....". I don't
know this could be solved better in autoconf, maybe Manu does. ;)

Try a configure without --with-libGeoIP or
give a "--with-libGeoIP=/my/path/to/libGeoIP" ...
(e.g. --with-libGeoIP=/usr/local, "/lib" or "/include" is 
added automatically).
