Thanks! I just included it.

However, is it possible to rewrite that test program so that
it doesn't actually create the PNG file?

I mean, we just need to play with the API and check error codes.

If the "gdImagePng(im, fp)" is really needed, could we delete
that image file afterwards? (A test script should always tidy
up its stuff.)

Do you see a simple way to fix that? Maybe by providing another
patch that fixes the gdlib-config.in in the first place?

Is it possible to simplify the test build command to:

    '$(TARGET)-gcc' \
        -W -Wall -Werror -ansi -pedantic \
        '$(2).c' -o '$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)/bin/test-gd.exe' \
        `'$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)/bin/gdlib-config' --cflags --libs` \

?

(Note that adding "-DNONDLL" should _not_ happen in that patch.
 We should either leave that as a $(SED) action, or perform that
 change in another separate patch.)
