No idea about this one. If libpng needs libucb, but you don't have it,
then that library is of no use to you. OTOH, if you have libucb, but
it's in a non-standard directory, you need to add that directory to
the --with-gd-libs= switch (you can supply multiple directories,
separated by spaces, but you need to use quotes).

GD needs libm (the math library), but configure doesn't appear to
check for it[1].
Possible solutions include:
1. Rebuilding libgd to include dependency information; for 2.0.3, add
"-lm" (similarly for other libraries) to the definition of
LINK_SHARED_HEAD in the GD Makefile. E.g. I have:
LINK_SHARED_HEAD=ld -shared -soname libgd.so.2 -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype -lm
I'll have to look at 2.0.7.
2. Edit src/CMD/head/head.sparc-sun-solaris2.7, and add "-lm" to the
definition of GDLIB, e.g.
GDLIB = -lgd -lm
[1] Currently, configure checks for four additional libraries (Xpm,
FreeType, JPEG, PNG), resulting in 16 permutations; I need to add
libm, which will result in 32 permutations (and running "autoconf"
will probably take longer than actually compiling GRASS; damn).

If you only have a static GD library, then that will be used. There
isn't any way to link a specific library statically while linking the
others dynamically.
