    You are probably missing some development packages for image libraries.  What 
    does the summary configure prints out say?

This doesn't seem right to me.

If some image libraries that ought to be present for a proper build of
Emacs are missing, is it really good for Emacs to compile without
those features?  Or would it be better to get error messages
and tell the user to install those development packages?
