I took a closer look and it's an obscure feature lost which is already marked as experimental and basically unused. GNUstep upstream is aware of the change in giflib. To verify, I rebuilt giflib with revert-GifQuantizeBuffer-remove-from-lib.patch giflib_quantize-header.patch removed and GifQuantizeBuffer deleted from the .symbols file. Then rebuilt gnustep-gui and installed the library package. Viewing GIF files with preview.app and price.app works and that's what is important. So you can safely exclude gnustep-gui from the list of problematic packages that are affected by this change.
