Description:
------------
When HAVE_LIBDL is not defined in main/php_config.h, the function php_load_extension is not compiled in ext/standard/dl.c.  However, the function php_load_php_extension_cb() will always be compiled with a call to php_load_extension.  This causes compilation to fail with the following message:

main/php_ini.o: In function `php_load_php_extension_cb':
[path removed]/main/php_ini.c:350: undefined reference to `php_load_extension'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

This appears to be the only place php_load_extension is called.  Furthermore, php_load_php_extension_cb is only referenced by php_ini_register_extensions(), which is only called in at main/main.c:2021.  It would seem that on architectures that don't HAVE_LIBDL, the preceding functions should be inside #if defined() checks.

I found this bug while cross-compiling from x86_64 to powerpc but I don't believe it is a cross-compiling issue.

Test script:
---------------
CC=${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc ../php-5.3.2/configure --host=powerpc-unknown-linux
make

Expected result:
----------------
PHP should compile without errors.

Actual result:
--------------
main/php_ini.o: In function `php_load_php_extension_cb':
[path removed]/main/php_ini.c:350: undefined reference to `php_load_extension'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

I have this problem too on CentOS 5.3.

I run:
../php-5.3.2/configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
make

and get the same error. I do have libdl.so.2 in my lib64 directory.

But if I apply the php-5.3.2-nolibdl-compile-error patch, does that mean that the PHP I compile will not be able to load extensions dynamically?
