bug#72967: PHP not building

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

after the core-updates merge, I noticed that php does not build any more.
I thought that maybe commit adfb0be57fd036dded0225a3ff1eb13f6646ee00, which
had updated the version from 8.3.9 to 8.3.10, was to be blamed; has his
gone through QA?

In any case, reverting the commit does not help. So maybe it is a problem
between the former core-updates and master.

The first problem is that gd requires to add fontconfig, freetype and
libjpeg through the Requires.private field of its pkg-config file.

After doing this, one of the tests fails:
=====================================================================

Bug #79676 (imagescale adds black border with IMG_BICUBIC) [ext/gd/tests/bug79676.phpt]

Hello Andreas,

the main problem is a removed patch inside of core-updates.
See this issue #

A separate problem is that three tests, related to gd,
are not passing.

As a temporary workaround, you can use the attached code to obtain a
buildable php.

Regards,
Rutherther

ah indeed, I should have checked first whether the problem was already
reported! As there are already several issues and mine does not contribute
anything new, I will not merge it, but simply close it.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
