I've had problems with compiling php 4.3 on 4 different solaris 8 machines. Last thing you can see on the screen is 'Updated php_version.h'.

At this point it just hangs, System load goes up to 1.00. A list of processes show a high cpu usage on 'tr'.

ps looks like
admin      26932 77.3  0.1  928  528 pts/2    R 11:13:46  0:31 tr x- x_

top looks like
26932 admin        1   0    0  928K  528K run      1:02 93.78% tr

Solution. I was to install the GNU Textutils
http://www.gnu.org/directory/textutils.html

Works perfect.

Figured this may help other users if the same problem occures

It is a known issue that using non-gnu utilities may cause PHP install not to work. This should be documented.

I was told by a user that there is a "xpg4 sed" that works just fine when compiling PHP and it's found here on a Solaris box: /usr/xpg4/bin/sed

Maybe someone can confirm this?

Confirmed. xpg4 sed works fine. Here's how sed stacks up 
on Solaris 8: 
 
/usr/local/bin/sed (GNU): works 
/usr/xpg4/bin/sed (Sun POSIX stuff): works 
/usr/ucb/sed (SunOS BSD-compatible): dies 
/bin/sed (Solaris): dies

This has been documented, thanks for the report! :)

http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/faq/build.xml

It'll show up when the manual is next built.  Also, linked to this faq here:
