gdlib-config --libs no longer includes -lgd in 2.0.36RC1, did in 2.0.35

gdlib-config's output actually looks a lot better in 2.0.36, but one  
difference is that it no longer includes a reference to the gd library  
(-lgd) itself.  Is this the desired behavior and if so, why?

On our machines, FreeBSD, in 2.0.35 gdlib-config -all returns:

GD library  2.0.35
includedir: /usr/local/include
cflags:     -I/usr/local/include
ldflags:    -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib
libs:       -lgd
libdir:     /usr/local/lib
features:   GD_JPEG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON

On 2.0.36RC1 it returns:

GD library  2.0.36
includedir: /usr/local/include
cflags:     -I/usr/local/include
ldflags:     -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib   -L/usr/ 
local/lib

GD_OPENPOLYGON
