You may have to specifically use --with-jpeg-dir in configure - I've got
"--with-jpeg-dir=/usr" in the configure line I used for building PHP, which
implies at some point I added it on because JPEG support wasn't working.

It's probably just output automatically by the build system, with each
extension adding on all the libraries they depend on, and more than one
requires libz, libcrypto, etc. Presumably the build system doesn't bother
eliminating duplicates, because the linker will anyway.
