Have you tried applying the patch[1] for the autoconf evil?

No, I did not try it.

Did it now and it worked! It should probably be applied to src.

This also makes bug #55580 work.

This is an issue with something that Ubuntu does to php build files -

If you build PHP from source instead of using Ubuntu's build, and then build php-gtk it works perfectly.  We CAN'T just apply the patch to the source proper because then it breaks the build on every other system and regular source builds.

If you're an automake guru and can find a way to fix the patch to work against Ubuntu's PHP build and not break a "virgin" php-gtk build or a build on other system's I'd love that - but so far no one has been able to figure out how to do that.
