Compiling PHP as a static apache module with the following command:

./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27 --with-pgsql=/data/postgres

Configure runs fine, and the build runs fine up until the final link where it calls libtool with an insane number of link objects.  The link fails because it looks like the command line is too long for libtool to handle, giving the error:

gcc: main/all: No such file or directory
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

main/all is actually a fragment of the libtool command line, several thousand characters into the command line, which leads me to suspect the libtool command line is far too long.

The libtool line that fails is this:

/bin/sh libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -export-dynamic -g -O2  -L/usr/ucblib
L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.2.2 -L/data/postgres/lib  -R /us
/ucblib -R /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.2.2 -R /data/postgres/

I have tried various things to get it to work, including edits to the Makefile, trying to run the command by hand, and upgrading all my software.

As a point of interest, php-4.2.3 compiles fine, as I had a copy of that laying around and gave it a try to see if it was this new machine or not.

If you require access to this machine to try it out yourself, let me know and I will provide access.


Thank you!
