We are running Oracle IAS 1.0.0.0 on AIX 4.3.3.  Oracle's IAS runs Apache 1.3.9 and the root Apache directory is in /ias/Apache/Apache.  We have a soft link from /usr/local/apache -> /ias/Apache.  We are installing our PHP source from /usr/tools/src/php-4.0.4pl1/ and I believe the config script uses /usr/local as it's prefix?  We ran make and make install and we bring up Apache with mod_php successfully.  At the first request however, php cores in the /ias/Apache/Apache directory.  The request is simply running phpinfo().  I see the following message in our httpds_error_log:

Here's what I see in the core file:

Our configure scripts is run with:
configure --with-apxs=/ias/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs --with-oci8=/ias/6iserver --without-mysql

We also made the modification to libtool in bug 4360 and tried again but we get the same as above.

Do you guys have any ideas what this is?  I can keep trying different things on this but I don't have a direction.  We are desperate to run PHP.  I did try installing to our actual Apache directory instead of soft linking /usr/local and we came up with the same thing.

I see this snippet in my config.log where it's not finding alloca.h.  I did not find alloca.h in the PHP source tree or anywhere on my system.

We undefined HAS_ALLOCA from all the makefiles, recompiled and this fixed our problem.  One of our compiler gurus here says we could add '-ma' to the compiler flags to get around this problem.  AIX 4.3.3 apparently does not have alloca() and the PHP configure script thinks it does.
