It seems that gd-for-php gets replaced by gd-2.2.4 now:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages php) gd-for-php)'
/gnu/store/xg2r8hk5axfq7xk1aj9ql5ncgkpnh0vk-gd-2.2.4

But, building PHP with --dry-run implies that address@hidden will be used.

I think that we need to set (replacement #f) in gd-for-php, so that PHP
is built with address@hidden, which will then be grafted to refer to gd-2.2.4
in the built output of PHP.

I'm a little unsure. Does anyone have advice?
