i have several mysql daemons (different versions) running on my system.
the problem is that php is always compiled with 
-lmysqlclient and thus links against the default library (in my case /usr/lib/libmysqlclient*) even if you specify a different path to mysql during ./configure
This was causing crash (segfault) on startup with all versions of apache after 1.3.14 and all versions of php 4+
I just figured out that this library missmatch was causing this problem, the crash has already been explained in bug #7976 once upon a time.

A -L/your/path is added, but yes, then -lmysqlclient comesafter that and if a mysqlclient library appears on your default link path it will be used.  That's just the way it works and the way just about anything you compile on a UNIX system will work.  Don't put libraries in your default path if you don't want them used.  I don't see this being "fixed"
