1) The patch allows to present the correct error message
without changing anything else yet. I am working on a php
wide patch that solves such problems generically.
2) I knew before what you are trying to. However you got a problem
simply because you wnated to save some bytes...
Try this layout
.../normal/png/lib
.../normal/png/include
.../sparcv9/png/lib
.../sparcv9/png/include
What is left could be the fact that you used "libpng12" and
i am not quite sure if we want to search for all versions since there
should be links named libpng.whatever that point to the specific
version (thats different from db-n where we search for a specific
version).
If you use the layout above you even have no need to configure any
compiler linker configuration before calling ./configure.

In response to (1):
This makes no difference. I'm not sure if we're on the same
planet. I'm not quite sure what the patch was meant to
achieve (and thus I don't understand what I was supposed
to do to take advantage of it once configure was
regenerated). I think the loop that fails to find libpng
is indeed the one you've provided the patch for, so you
and I are possibly within the same universe.

> Since you obviated a system immanent feature...
Hey, I'm really confused now. I'm not at all sure what
nuance you're implying with those words. I really
don't understand why you said it at all. Can I try
saying this to you:
/usr/local/include/libpng/png.h (for both arch)
/usr/local/include/libpng/pngconf.h (for both arch)
/usr/local/lib/libpng12.so (32-bit)
/usr/local/lib/sparcv9/libpng12.so (64-bit)
PHP needs to use the files in /usr/local/include/libpng
and /usr/local/lib/sparcv9. The library path is already
known by the compiler, linker, and loader.

1) Please check if the following patch for ext/gd/config.m4
shows the correct message:

2) Since you obviated a system immanent feature (libs in
x/lib and includes in x/include) you may required a link to point to
your library and includes.

That makes no observable difference.
Configure still reports
"checking for the location of libpng... yes"
(not that I have a directory called 'yes'...)
and still says
"If configure fails try --with-jpeg-dir=<DIR>
configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found."
(and then stops).
Note that the sparcv9 path is not libpng's "install
prefix", it is just the lib dir.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
Look into ./configure --help:
--with-png-dir[=DIR] GD: Set the path to libpng install prefix.
that means you can set your library patch as follows:
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib/sparcv9
But yes we could do it in another order to have more helpful error
messages.
