I've compiled PHP + Apache + Mod_SSL previously without Oracle support ( -n32 targets with SGI's CC compiler.)

Now I want to include Oracle support by using the -n32 libraries from the:
Oracle N32 Client Development Kit (Release 8.0.5 for Silicon Graphics IRIX)

we run Oracle 8i 8.0.5 or higher with 64bit binaries and libraries.
But since apache+ssl+php aren't 64-bit clean I compiled them explicitly with 'cc -n32'...

I configure PHP for use with Oracle:
 /usr/local/jpv/php-3.0.15 $ CC="cc -n32 -O2 -KPIC" CXX=$CC ./configure \
        --with-apxs=/usr/local/jpv/inst/apache/bin/apxs \
        --with-mysql=/usr/local/jpv/inst/mysql \
        --with-config-file=/usr/local/jpv/inst/apache/conf \
        --with-xml \
        --with-oracle=/usr/local/jpv/sgi_n32_oracle_client_toolkit \
2>&1 | tee configure-`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`.log 

Problem now is that the configure script is build to expect that the Oracle 'libclient.a' is in $ORACLEINST_TOP/lib ...
With the N32 SDK the're in $ORACLEINST_TOP/lib32 and the include files are in $ORACLEINST_TOP/oci/include

I think that adding the option to explicitly name the library *and* include directory would help in the configure process...

(the N32 SDK cannot be installed in the $ORACLE_HOME directory ! it would overwrite all the 64bit libs...)
