 That should not be necessary.

 If you build from source, configure with a customised prefix, e.g.
 --prefix=$HOME. Then, when compiling other, gd using applications,
 make sure that the directory containing the newer gdlib-config (in this
 case, $HOME/bin), comes first in PATH. That should pretty much do it.
