We don't seem to use any of the functions / macros you mentioned. It
would be best to figure out what is wrong by checking the compile log.
We might be able to run using both 1.2 and 1.4 if the functions we use
have stayed the same.

BTW what distribution are you using? Does libpng now link to
libpng14.so (previously it linked to libpng12.so).
