Description:
------------
PHP 4.3.5RC3 crashes with illegal instruction

Reproduce code:
---------------
CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -march=$CPU  " CXX=gcc \
./configure \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-gd \
--with-dom \
--with-zlib \
--with-xml \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-apache=../apache-1.3.29\
--enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-shmop \
--enable-memory-limit
make
make install

Expected result:
----------------
noraml installation...

Actual result:
--------------
Installing PHP SAPI module:       apache
Installing PHP CLI binary:        /usr/local/bin/
Installing PHP CLI man page:      /usr/local/man/man1/
Installing PEAR environment:      /usr/local/lib/php/
make[1]: *** [install-pear-installer] Illegal instruction
make: *** [install-pear] Error 2

I can confirm that php crashes in the make when the php cli is used in install-pear-installer

Same config on php 4.3.4 has no issues.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

set CFLAGS to -g, add --enable-debug to your configure and 
if it still crashes generate a backtrace.

The line in the Makefile gets expanded to this:

/root/webserver_software_tmp/php-4.3.5RC3/sapi/cli/php -n -dshort_open_tag=0 -dsafe_mode=0 /root/webserver_software_tmp/php-4.3.5RC3/pear/install-pear.php -d "/usr/local/lib/php" -b "/usr/local/bin" /root/webserver_software_tmp/php-4.3.5RC3/pear/package-*.xml

gdb on the above has a bt of:

Starting program: /root/webserver_software_tmp/php-4.3.5RC3/sapi/cli/php -n -dshort_open_tag=0 -dsafe_mode=0 /root/webserver_software_tmp/php-4.3.5RC3/pear/install-pear.php -d "/usr/local/lib/php" -b "/usr/local/bin" /root/webserver_software_tmp/php-4.3.5RC3/pear/package-*.xml

What this backtrace generated with debug build of PHP? 
The backtrace should've been more detailed if it was.
 [2004-03-17 20:28 UTC] sroussey at network54 dot com 
Well, that was the backtrace before I did a debug version. When I changed the CFLAGS to add -g as you suggested and added --enable-debug then it no longer crashes.
 [2004-03-17 20:31 UTC] sroussey at network54 dot com 
BTW: I have an strace (from the version that crashes -- that is, without the debug option)

Please generate a backtrace with a DEBUG version of PHP 
without heavy optimization flags.

Must have been a gcc issue. Restarted machine and unpacked a fresh tar.gz and it works fine. Soory to waste any time.
