The bug appears when I try to compile PHP 4.1.2 as an apxs dynamic apache module. First I had a 
#configure --with-mysql --with-gd --enable-fff --with-apxs
which produced an (almost) empty Makefile afterwards. Only 5 lines of path definitions where in there. This resulted in an error when trying to #make the project, as it returned:
make: *** No targets. Stop.

I just found the solution! It really is a bug in your configure script, please fix it as soon as you have time.
I had the PHP sources located in
/mnt/raid/Samba/Linux Programme/php-4.1.2
During the last step (creating files) the configure script tried to access the path, but did not use a metacharacter space (Linux\ Programme), so it tried to write in /mnt/raid/Samba/Linux, where of course no files were! Cool, I got that one :-)

Anyways, if I hadn't found this bug, I'm sure you would have, and I'm sure you'd have helped me. You people are the ones who make PHP such a great language. PHP is incredibly awesome, you're doing a fantastic job!

--enable-fff of course is --enable-track-vars

Completely non-sensical bug report.

Compiling path: /mnt/raid/Samba/Linux Programme/php-4.1.2
Everything works fine until the last step (creating files/generating files), as already mentioned.

As this "bogus" _bug_ is reproducible, it would not have been difficult to figure that out by yourself, although I mentioned it.

Which versions of libtool, automake and autoconf are you using?

Here are the version numbers. It really all goes back to the directory, when I changed from "/mnt/raid/Samba/Linux Programme/php-4.1.2" to "/mnt/raid/Samba/php-4.1.2" it worked perfectly.

ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.53 2001/09/11 03:18:52)
------------
automake (GNU automake) 1.4

So don't use spaces in directory names.
