Description Robert Schultz 2021-09-27 01:43:41 UTC 
As of v2.3.3 for media-libs/gd upstream has disabled 'gd' support by default.

A 'gd' USE flag should be added that will enable it and pass --enable-gd-formats to the configure script via use_enable

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Download sample gd file: http://telparia.com/fileFormatSamples/image/gd/abydos.gd
Attempt to convert with media-libs/gd program: gdtopng abydos.gd out.png
Actual Results:  
GD Warning: GD image support has been disabled

Expected Results:  
It should convert properly. It does so after modifying the ebuild to --enable-gd-formats

See this upstream bug where they disabled it by default: http://github.com/libgd/libgd/issues/428

From the discussion in http://github.com/libgd/libgd/pull/776#issuecomment-927442848, it's not clear to me if this was deliberate or not.
