Submitted: 2009-12-28 20:26 UTC Modified: 2009-12-29 19:28 UTC

Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Starting with PHP 5.2.12, the final part of the 'make' process fails.  It appears if a system has both 32bit and 64bit libraries, building the apache1 module tries to link to the 32bit library and fails with "File in wrong format".

The issue doesn't happen with the CGI/CLI versions.

The apache version is 1.3.41

Reproduce code:
---------------
# locate libdb-4.3.so
/lib/libdb-4.3.so
/lib64/libdb-4.3.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.3.so
/usr/lib64/libdb-4.3.so

# rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" db4
db4-4.3.29-10.el5.x86_64
db4-4.3.29-10.el5.i386

./configure --enable-dba --with-db4 --with-apxs=/private/httpd/bin/apxs
make

Expected result:
----------------
successful build

Actual result:
--------------
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.so when searching for -lcrypt
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.a when searching for -lcrypt
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.so when searching for -lcrypt

Sorry, forgot to mention that the compile works fine on 5.2.11 and previous.

I also get the same error with libltdl.so and the --with-mcrypt option:

Please try using this snapshot:

For Windows:

I'm pretty sure this is fixed in the repo.

That seemed to fix it.  Thanks!

Yes, it was one bad patch that seemed innocent at the time it was committed.. :)
