Building PostGIS with SFCGAL from source fails

Question

I'm trying to build latest PostGIS (2.2dev) with SFCGAL. SFCGAL is installed in /usr/local/lib, and includes are in /usr/local/include/SFCGAL I've run configure as:

./configure --with-sfcgal=/usr/local/bin

and it finds SFCGAL (even if it doesn't output the version, which should be 1.0.4):

Everything seems ok, but it fails during the linking of utilities (e.g. raster loader or, in case raster is disabled, the next one is shp2pgsql):

/bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link \
gcc -I ../liblwgeom -g -O2  -fPIC -DPIC  -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes    shpopen.o   dbfopen.o getopt.o shpcommon.o safileio.o shp2pgsql-core.o shp2pgsql-cli.o   ../liblwgeom/liblwgeom.la -o shp2pgsql  -lc

../liblwgeom/.libs/liblwgeom.so: undefined reference to `sfcgal_solid_create_from_exterior_shell'
(and other similar undefined references)

What's going wrong with liblwgeom linking? Why liblwgeom has all the SFCGAL references undefined? The SFCGAL building seems ok, and if I run readelf on libSFCGAL.so everything seems ok.

I past the readelf output run on liblwgeom.so, which shows the undefined symbols Thanks for your precious help.

The option parameter should be the sfcgal-config:

./configure --with-sfcgal=/usr/local/bin/sfcgal-config

It should be an error if 'SFCGAL version' can not be found, but apparently it isn't.

I managed to sucessfully build PostGIS 2.2.2 with SFCGAL for the software versions listed below. The script I used can be found here. I used ./configure --with-sfcgal=/usr/local/bin/sfcgal-config to configure the PostGIS build.

Unbuntu Trusty Tar 14.04 LTS
PostGIS 2.2.2
GEOS 3.5.0
PostgreSQL 9.5
SFCGAL 1.3.0
CGAL 4.7.2
