The complete build logs for 4.2.1 can be seen here (scroll to the bottom to get at recent versions):

http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=php4

Click through on 4.2.1 s390, alpha, or ia64.  You'll notice the build failures on the first attempt.

This is due to an assumption that "unsigned int" == size_t, which isn't true on all architectures, only some.

The build seems to go fine (with a warning about "passing arg 4 of `php_iconv_string' from incompatible pointer type", but there are warnings like that ALL over the PHP code when compiling on non-32-bit arches, that's nothing new) with the following simple patch applied.  I'm not the world's greatest C programmer by any stretch, so someone may want to double check that this one-line fix isn't doing something incredibly stupid:

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
