Probably the GD library. However, if the PNG driver was linked against
a static GD library[1], that would also need to be recompiled.

[1] On Linux (you don't mention which OS you're using), you can use
"ldd" to list the shared libraries which a program uses, e.g.

	ldd $GISBASE/driver/PNG

If the output mentions libgd.so.<something>, e.g.

	libgd.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.1 (0x4001c000)

then it's using a shared GD library, otherwise it's static.
