Currently, there are two possibilities:

1.) x11 is in DISTRO_FEATURES
    -> libsm is built, giflib is built with libsm
2.) x11 is not in DISTRO_FEATURES
    -> giflib build is broken, because libsm does not exist in this
configuration

Therefore, the scenario you're describing cannot happen.

I already explained in the commit message, why a PR bump is not needed.
Can you please explain which other possible failures you're expecting,
so I can learn why my reasoning may be wrong?

This patch only fixes an unavailable build dependency at bitbake level,
nothing more.
