Description:
------------
Attempting to configure and build PHP with ./configure --enable-
maintainer-ztc --enable-debug --enable-embed
1) fails to build CLI
2) the resulting libphp.so cannot be loaded in Darwin due to missing 
'environ' global variable.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Try to build on OS X 10.5.6 using

# ./buildconf
# ./configure --enable-maintainer-ztc --enable-debug --enable-embed
# make


Expected result:
----------------
The CLI binary is built successfully.
The libphp5.so library can be loaded using dlopen().

Actual result:
--------------
At the library link stage, multiple symbols are in conflict which
have to be declared 'extern' in their '*.h' files. Unlike ELF, with 
Darwin's Mach-O format, common symbols are not allowed by default. So 
ELF is forgiving but Mach-O is not with regard to missing 'extern' 
specifier on global variables. This happens in multiple places in PHP 
code.

At the CLI link stage, an attempt is made to link .o files using CC, 
though during the compilation libtool is used, so the .o files are 
hidden in .libs subdirectires, and .lo files should be used.

If I correct this and do link successfully, the resulting CLI is fine, 
but the libphp5.so cannot be loaded on darwin because the symbol 
environ doesn't exist. (There is a function _NSGetEnviron() which 
returns it).

Does this happen with PHP 5.2.9 ? That patch looks really awful. 
Something I'd never would want to commit since this all works absolutely 
fine on every other platform..
 [2009-05-18 20:05 UTC] valeriy dot zamarayev at gmail dot com
The patch fixes three problems:

1. Missing 'extern's (the only change which will be noticeable on platforms other than 
Darwin, and looking at the code I think they were just forgotten, most variables have 
it, but these few ones don't. Just to make sure it doesn't break anything with ELF I 
tried this on Centos 5.2 - all ok).

2. Some 'special' configuration for darwin, which prevented it from using GNU libtool 
(no effect on other platforms)

3. 'environ' variable. (no effect on other platforms either, as it only works if 
crt_externs.h is present - the fix taken from GCC source)

Maybe I should have submitted them all separately, so they don't look that awful to 
you? Anyway the patch is intended to show exact locations of the problems and 
suggested fixes, for the interested in OS X support in the upcoming 5.3, probably not 
for an immediate commit. Please treat it as an enhanced problem description.

As for 5.2.9, I stumbled across the unresolved #44462 issue, among the others, so I 
moved to 5.3, and I didn't try to load the .so but basically the environ issue is 
there anyway, as is the 'special' darwin build case, which breaks linking (looks like 
it was made long ago to avoid accidentally using the Darwin specific 'libtool' 
program.

No, the original problem is still there, no matter what version
of PHP I test against (current 5.3.2, the snapshot from June 8th
or most recent PHP5.3.3RC1). I still can build with --disable-cli
passed at configure time, however the result is a bundle instead
of a shared library. On Mac OS X there are difference between the
two, in particular, it's impossible to link with -lphp5 against a
bundle. The error message is:

ld: in /usr/local/php5.3RC1//lib/libphp5.so, can't link with
bundle (MH_BUNDLE) only dylibs (MH_DYLIB).

For more information, please, see this thread on stackoverflow;
http://bit.ly/av8Oie

Both PHC (php compiler) and PL/PHP (PHP stored procedures for
PostgreSQL) seem to be affected by this on OS X.

Is there a reason why embed is built as a bundle ? Can it be
changed to the shared library (MH_DYNALIB) instead?
