Normally giflib and libungif are interchangeable, however kdegraphics-3.4.3-r4 doesn't build with giflib installed. Additionallym kdegraphics doesn't call out the libungif dependency at all.

nevermind, I was confused. The problem was that imlib.la referenced libungif.la which no longer exists. sorry for the spam.
