I am trying to compile a 3.5 build of mapserver on a Redhat 7 Linux box.
I am using the following options with the configuration script.

./configure --with-proj=/usr/local --with-gdal --with-gd=/usr/local/lib/gd-1.2 
--with-freetype=/usr/lib

proj-4.4.3
gdal-1.1.5
gd-1.2
freetype-1.3.1-7


The Makefile builds without complaint.
When I run 'make' I get the following problem


gcc -O2  -Wall -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA  -DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_PROJ
-DUSE_PROJ_API_H -DUSE_WMS  -DUSE_TIFF -DUSE_JPEG -DUSE_GD_GIF

gdImagePaletteCopy() requires GD1.5 or more recent, and even if GD1.2 is 
not supported any more by MapServer, GD1.3 is still quite common.  We should 
either:

1- Test for this in configure and give an error telling the user that GD1.5 or 
more recent is required when building --with-gdal

2- Provide our own version of gdImagePaletteCopy() in mapresample.c if GD is too 
old.

mapresample.c no longer uses gdImagePaletteCopy() though I am not sure it
is GD-1.3 safe.
