You should be able to work around this by linking both with the same
(shared) libgd.  Or, if you are not building PHP as a loadable object, by
statically linking both libraries into PHP.

Currently, it all comes in one big lump, and I'm not sure that it makes
sense to split it up.  The root of this problem is that librrd includes a
bunch of common code from other libraries, when in many circumstances it
makes more sense to link with them.

The development version should link with installed libraries if present, and
fall back to building its own copies if not.
