Description:
------------
PHP's configure script incorrectly manipulates CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS when running with --enable-debug or --enable-gcov. When CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS contains -Os (optimize for size), the configure script builds a bad list of CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and as such configure fails in a later stage.
I created a small patch[1] which should solve that, I'm not completely sure whether it's a good idea to remove that -O stuff at all -- does appending -O0 after user-supplied flags not lead to the expected result (building with -O0 and not -O2 for instance)?

[1] http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/php/browser/patches/php-patches/5.2.3/5.2.3/php5.2.3-configure-Os-fix.patch?rev=1237

Reproduce code:
---------------
CFLAGS="-Os" ./configure --enable-debug
(same if you replace CFLAGS by CXXFLAGS or --enable-debug with --enable-gcov)

Actual result:
--------------
christian@tux /tmp/php-5.2.3 $ env | grep FLAGS
CXXFLAGS=-Os
CFLAGS=-Os
christian@tux /tmp/php-5.2.3 $ ./configure --disable-all --enable-debug
[...]
Configuring libtool

Depending on ./configure options the output looks different. For example, with --with-xml you will see a libxml2 failure first.

Apparently it doesn't.
What does you config.log say about the reason of the failure?

Don't know if I undestood you correctly -- that CFLAGS manipulation using sed is there because CFLAGS="-O2 -O0" doesn't lead to code being built with -O0, right?

config.log:
[...]
configure:106983: checking for object suffix
configure:106989: gcc -c s -O0 -g -Wall  conftest.c 1>&5
gcc: s: No such file or directory

(this is the last time this message appears and causes the configure run abort; it happens multiple times as expected, as CFLAGS="s" is simply wrong; full config.log at http://home.hoffie.info/php-5.2.3-debug-Os-config.log)
