Fails to link if libpng/jpeg development libraries are missing.

When compiling Tk 804.036, the following warning appears when configuring:
'pkg-config libpng' failed, continue with fallback values for cflags and libs...

This is because I have libpng16-devel installed which has libpng16.pc instead of plain libpng.pc. Because libpng was not found, the build system attempts to compile the bundled libpng. My brewed perl was compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE and -O2 and the build system picks up the _FORTIFY_SOURCE option, but ignores the optimization flag when compiling libpng/jpeg. This leads to the following warning when checking for <errno.h> in PNG/zlib/configure:405:

cc -c -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector-strong -I/usr/local/inclu
de -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -o example test.c
In file included from /usr/include/errno.h:25,
                 from test.c:1:
/usr/include/features.h:414:4: warning: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Wcpp]
  414 | #  warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O)
      |    ^~~~~~~

As configure checks the compiler output against the empty string, it assumes that <errno.h> is not found, defining the NO_ERRNO_H macro. This leads to the errno global variable being declared in PNG/zlib/zutil.h:35. This non-thread local storage variable declaration clashes with the TLS definition in the version of glibc I have installed (which is 2.39), leading to the following error when linking:

> cc -fPIC -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector-strong -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -DNO_snprintf -DHAS_sprintf_void -DNO_ERRNO_H -o example example.o -L. libz.a
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/13/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib64/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in libz.a(gzio.o)
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/13/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /lib64/libc.so.6: error adding symbols: bad value

The fix is simple: Enable optimization by adding $Config{optimize} flag, which was -O2 on the Perl I brewed, to the CFLAGS for the bundled libpng and jpeg so that _FORTIFY_SOURCE, which was added to Perl's build system starting in 5.22, doesn't cause a warning.
