Bugzilla Bug 60961

During the configure phase building imlib-1.9.14-r1, it fails it test program
linking against -lgif with stuff like:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libgif.so: undefined reference to `XDestroyImage'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libgif.so: undefined reference to `XGetWindowAttributes'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libgif.so: undefined reference to `XGetImage'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libgif.so: undefined reference to `XGetPixel'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libgif.so: undefined reference to `XQueryColors'

If, however, you also have libungif installed, it will test against that, and
succeed, never testing libgif. I noticed this on a box with only giflib
installed. (a fresh 2004.2) I then made a little hello.c program (main with
only a printf, and 'gcc -o hello hello.c -lgif' results in the same undefined
references. I then tried the same program on my other box, and it linked without
complaint. Then I re-merged giflib-- same version,4.1.0-r3 and the result is
that the test program now fails to link under both boxes now...

I dont know if imlib is just not compiling their test program correctly, or
what. (Those are Xlib symbols, so it will compile with -L/usr/X11R6 -lX11 )

my USE variables include 'X' and 'gif'.

I'm having the same problem.
