Possibly a +universal issue:

$ port installed gd2
The following ports are currently installed:
  gd2 @2.0.35_5 (active)
$ gdlib-config
Print information on GD library's version, configuration, and use.

Oddly, the bit at line 41 here is

if test $# -eq 0; then

Not sure why yours lost a space there.

Every line of my gdlib-config lost its first space, wherever in the line it occurred. That was installed Sept 5. I'm unable to reproduce the issue installing it today.

Heh, that's a new one on me...sounds like some reinplace/regex s// gone horribly wrong. FWIW, mine was Sept 16...but that was due to 10.6 upgrade.

I wanted to see if I could come up with an explanation for why this occurred, but gdlib-config is generated by config.status which is generated by configure and it's a bit much for me to unravel.

Somebody else now experiences this issue; it has been refiled as #25946.
