http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18820. 

I've run into this one too. There was a problem that both libungif and
giflib installed this file. It seems this was fixed and now only one
(depending on your gif use flag) installs it. Recently, libungif was
updated, so (if you have gif use flag set at least) it removed its
version of the file given during unmerge of previous version but
didn't install replacement. Solution is pretty straightforward:
emerge giflib

Btw, when missing the file, something like 
equery belongs gif_lib.h 
should usually give you some hint what package it belongs too.
