It should be turbo to match the default libjpeg used in Guix; but rather
than being propagated from mscgen, it should probably be propagated from
gdlib, which seems to have it listed in its pkg-config files:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ find $(guix build gd) -name '*.pc' -execdir cat {} +
refix=/gnu/store/8rl0dz3982ms15j2j50myr89dkc3h5y5-gd-2.3.3
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: gd
Description: GD graphics library
Version: 2.3.3
Requires:
Requires.private:   zlib  libpng  freetype2 >= 9.8.3  fontconfig  libjpeg
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs.private:  
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgd
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Anything listed in pkg-config 'Requires' or 'Requires.private' should be
propagated for the pkg-config machinery to work as expected.  This topic
is brushed in the manual (see info "(guix) package References"), where
'propagated-inputs' are documented.
