This is probably impossible, for legal reasons.
Gif-Support had to be dropped from GDlib because of a changed license.
Old releases of gd did support GIFs, but don't expect any more official
releases of GD including GIF-Support.
You could try to hack GIF-support into GD yourself. There is a
"patched" version of GD 1.8x which supports GIF-functions as well as
these for PNG, but it is illegal. In the USA it is, at least. I'm not
sure about other countries.
