+[!] Possibly broken imlib2 / libgif detected - ignoring test results
+
+Imlib2 1.4.7 is unable to load GIF images on Debian stretch/sid systems (and
+maybe other distros too). On x86 / x86_64 this applies to most gifs which are
+not the first file in the filelist, while on mips/mipsel and (some?) arm boxes
+it is unable to load any gif files. Since feh's tests include gifs, they fail.
+
+As there's nothing we can do about it (and other image formats still work
+fine), we'll just pretend everything's okay.
+
+See <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813729> for details.
