It is on the machine I'm attempting to build on - running Slackware 10.0. 

The same machine built a PHP5.1 static module without error.

Great, but I apparently don't have your machine so I need to know how to reproduce it on my machine.

++Great

If I knew enough about the PHP & Apache build processes to tell you that, surely I'd be contributing a patch instead of filing a bug report?  

AFAIK, the Apache build process has not changed and the PHP cli installs without error. (related?) problems occur only when compiling Apache with PHP as a static module.

Problem #1

The info in libphp5.module is not being transferred to the generated $APACHE/src/modules/php5/Makefile although the file libphp5.module is present in that dir. I've verified these exact tarballs build a static PHP module on another system without error (as previously noted) and was able to manually edit the Makefile.

Problem #2

After manually editing the Makefile, Apache build still fails with this linker error: 

modules.o(.data+0x44): undefined reference to `php5a_module'
modules.o(.data+0xa4): undefined reference to `php5a_module'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [target_static] Error 1

make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/build/src/apache-1.3'
make: *** [build] Error 2

What EXACTLY are you doing and what do I need to do in order to reproduce it?
Please describe all the steps.

aclocal (GNU automake) 1.8.5
gcc version 3.3.4
GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.3 

Apache (1.3 dev snapshot)
PHP-5.2.2RC1

Tarballs verified to compile successfully on a desktop machine running another (more up-to-date) distro.

src/modules/php5/Makefile doesn't contain paths and lib info from src/modules/php5/libphp5.module

I Manually insert PHP_CFLAGS and PHP_LIBS from that file in to the Makefile. Then resume

Does this mean the same PHP works fine on another machine?
What do you mean by more up-to-date distro and what distro is that?

> Does this mean the same PHP works fine on another machine?

Compiles fine on my laptop.

I'm referring to more recent releases of the toolchain.

aclocal (GNU automake) 1.10
gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r2, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10)
GNU ld version 2.16.1

>I'm referring to more recent releases of the toolchain.
Try updating the problematic machine and see which update fixes it.
