Patch leading to successful build

After the latest commit to the graphics/gd port I could no longer get a
successful build. The build log showed the following error messages:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Making all in tests
--- ./Makefile.in ---
cd .. && /bin/sh /wrkdirs/usr/ports/graphics/gd/work/libgd-2.3.3/config/missing
automake-1.16 --foreign tests/Makefile
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/graphics/gd/work/libgd-2.3.3/config/missing: automake-1.16:
not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.16' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <https://www.perl.org/>
*** [./Makefile.in] Error code 127

make[1]: stopped in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/graphics/gd/work/libgd-2.3.3/tests

make: stopped in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/graphics/gd/work/libgd-2.3.3
===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Curiously enough, running `poudriere testport` finished without problems.

Adding "USES+= autoreconf" to the port Makefile gives a successful build again,
however due to lack of time for more thorough investigation I'm not convinced
yet this is the proper way forward. It might at least be a viable workaround
for the time being, though.
