PHP uses the bundled GD library (as it is now in sync with original source) unless you explictly use the 'gd-external' local USE flag.
doesnt look so from the eclass: freetds? ( >=dev-db/freetds-0.53 ) || ( gd-bundled? ( "" ) gd? ( media-libs/libgd >=media-libs/jpeg-6b >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.5 ) ( "" ) )
looks like the configure part is ok, but the DEPEND part is broken.
sorry about that. some of my changes got lost with other changes to the eclass. they should be in there now.
