It's possible to build libjpeg for DJGPP and it works.

There is no more GIF support in latest versions of libgd.a due to patent
problems. You should search for gd1.3.tgz or gd1.4.tgz to find versions
that supports GIFs. WARNING. versions 1.2 and 1.5 contains LZW compression
that has patent problems, so don't use them.
