Description:
------------
configure is used to determine EXPANDED_DATADIR, which in turn is used to set PHP_DATADIR in main/build-defs.h.in / main/build-defs.h.

configure sets EXPANDED_DATADIR from datadir, which in turn is set to '$datarootdir' and then eval'ed once.

Now datarootdir is set to '${prefix}/shared', so first datadir is set to '$datarootdir', then once eval'ed to '${prefix}/shared' as a verbatim string. This string ends up as the value of PHP_DATADIR in main/build-defs.h:

#define PHP_DATADIR             "${prefix}/share"

To fix this one needs to eval datadir in configure.in twice:

--- configure.in      2014-02-05 11:00:36.000000000 +0100
+++ configure.in        2014-02-24 21:31:45.656842000 +0100
