Description:
------------
When you run `make install` to install PHAR to a location other than the final build location an error occurs. Building an RPM within a build root is a good example of when this might occur.

The bin/phar symbolic link point will point to the build root rather than the install root.

php-5.3.0/ext/phar/Makefile.frag

Line 46 reads:
$(LN_S) -f $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar.phar $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar

To correct the bug the line should be modified to the following

$(LN_S) -f phar.phar $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar


This should be safe as both are in the same directory ($(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar)

hi,

that actually should be:

Otherwise the symbolic link will be to any file phar.phar in the path and not specifically to our phar.phar

Hi - I've just tried to build it but the snapshot "php5.3-200907231430" doesn't appear to include this change.

Hi, I'm still running into this issue while trying to compile PHP 5.4.10 on Centos 
6.3. A (bad) workaround is to install it in the usual place, then install it to 
the INSTALL_ROOT directory.
