Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem
might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP
version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

Same problem with all subsequent versions of PHP.  4.2.3 compiled fine as a module, but on start, I get:

Starting httpd: httpd Syntax error on line 283 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: __log1p

Note:  line 283 is "LoadModule php4_module        lib/apache/libphp4.so"

Status was incorrectly set to "bogus".  Issue was never resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

Current release version 4.2.3 produces identical problem.

Try this: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-200212012030.tar.gz

This snapshot doesn't compile.  Used same config.nice file:

'./configure' \
'--with-apxs' \
'--with-mysql' \
'--with-zlib' \

Here is the output:

Your system is broken. (mainly the gcc installation, most likely)
