Configure dies with a PANIC msg. The config.log file says:
/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/bin/ld: cannot open -lgifreader: No such
file or directory
Does --with-gif now require gifreader?
Xemacs 20.4 doesn't need it to compile.
Due to patent problems, we had to remove all code for writing gif,
hence using gifreader only. But anyway, it appears that even using code
reading gifs (and thus making LZW decompression) is incompatible with
distributing XEmacs, and so the gif support will be totally removed in the
next release. We're in the process of porting all images to PNG.
