Description:
------------
In PHP 5.5, using "./configure --with-gd" causes compilation failure. It works in PHP 5.4.  The compilation errors after doing "./configure --with-gd" are:

One workaround is to do: "./configure --with-gd --with-png-dir"

I don't think it works in 5.4

libpng is mandatory and cannot be disabled.

I will restore this behaviour in 5.5.

Thanks for restoring this.  With PHP 5.4 & PHP 5.5 it now works similarly:

$ ~/php-5.4/configure --with-gd

...

Configuration continues & compilation succeeds.
