Description:
------------
For some broken reason, PHP calls apxs to modify httpd.conf. Given that httpd.conf is seldom even used anymore, the utility in this is extremely questionable.  Regardless of that, when using INSTALL_ROOT with php, apxs is called to incorrectly modify httpd.conf in the INSTALL_ROOT location, which, of course, it won't actually exist in

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/build/p4/zimbra/main/ThirdParty/php/php-5.6.7-srcpkg'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/build/p4/zimbra/main/ThirdParty/php/php-5.6.7-srcpkg'

Expected result:
----------------
apxs is not called at all, as most apache installations don't even use httpd.conf anymore

Actual result:
--------------
apxs is called against an incorrect location, causing build failure.

Problem appears to be here:

INSTALL_IT = $(mkinstalldirs) '$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/zimbra/common/modules' && $(mkinstalldirs) '$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/zimbra/common/conf' && /opt/zimbra/common/bin/apxs -S LIBEXECDIR='$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/zimbra/common/modules' -S SYSCONFDIR='/opt/zimbra/common/conf' -i -a -n php5 libphp5.la

There is a very invalid assumption that apache is in the PHP INSTALL_ROOT

Ugh, don't cut and paste after modifying a file.

Makefile has:

-S SYSCONFDIR='$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/zimbra/common/conf'

Confirmed, adjusting the SYSCONFDIR in the makefile to point to the location of apache httpd.conf resolved the problem.  PHP should not assume httpd is in the PHP-specific INSTALL_ROOT.  It entirely breaks the concept of safely separated chroot'd building.

Is there a fix for this?
