If there was a problem running APXS at configure time, it is re-run to generate a visible error message. However the script forgets to add the correct command-line parameters; as a result you always get the default APXS usage page instead of a report of what the error actually was.

The following patch fixes it:

--- php-4.3.1/sapi/apache/config.m4.orig        Thu Jul 25 19:37:16 2002
+++ php-4.3.1/sapi/apache/config.m4     Wed May 28 13:51:44 2003
@@ -26,7 +26,7 @@
     AC_MSG_RESULT([2.  Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);])
     AC_MSG_RESULT([3.  'apxs' is not in your path.  Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs])
     AC_MSG_RESULT([The output of $APXS follows])
-    $APXS
+    $APXS -q CFLAGS
     AC_MSG_ERROR([Aborting]) 
   fi 

Without this patch, all you see is:
Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname>
       apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ...
       apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]]
               [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>]

       apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ...
       apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ...

which is not very helpful.
