Description:
------------
seems mcrypt adds bogus ltdl lib to linking.

this php extension does not use ltdl, it uses mcrypt_module_open from mcrypt 
library, and mcrypt library links with ltdl, the -lltld in php extension is 
clearly superfluous


the original commit from 2003:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=114195

the author there either had no clue what he was doing or the mcrypt he used for 
linking was broken, as even that time the php extension used no symbols from 
libtool's ltdl library

the patch removes ltdl linking

seems the original place the -lltdl snipped in is here:

http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=30132

if that's any help for accepting patch

Can you show me the commit where you think it was fixed? It doesn't look fixed to me, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

For PHP 7.2 the mcrypt extension was moved to PECL, but even there the relevant lines haven't been touched since 2006.

https://github.com/php/pecl-encryption-mcrypt/blob/master/config.m4

Or perhaps you're saying you "fixed" it by moving it to PECL thus making it someone else's problem.

Could you clarify, please?
