I'm trying to build and install php form source, the pkg I downloaded is php-5.4.4.tar.gz. The infomation about my platform is as follows:
jack@linux-lc4j:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 10.3 (i586)
VERSION = 10.3
jack@linux-lc4j:~> uname -a
Linux linux-lc4j 2.6.22.5-31-default #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
jack@linux-lc4j:~> gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i586-suse-linux
Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran,obj-c++,java,ada --enable-checking=release --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 --enable-ssp --disable-libssp --disable-libgcj --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=new --disable-libstdcxx-pch --program-suffix=-4.2 --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-system-libunwind --with-cpu=generic --host=i586-suse-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)

When running configure, whether with "--with-gnu-ld" option or not, the following info shows near the end:
Configuring libtool
checking for ld used by cc... /usr/i586-suse-linux/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/i586-suse-linux/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking for /usr/i586-suse-linux/bin/ld option to reload object files... -r
checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -B
checking how to recognize dependent libraries... pass_all

checking if cc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... no
checking for cc option to produce PIC... -fPIC
checking if cc PIC flag -fPIC works... yes
checking if cc static flag -static works... yes
checking if cc supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking whether the cc linker (/usr/i586-suse-linux/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes

checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes

As a result, after running make, libphp5.so is not created. Check the following bug reports:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39197
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40268

Seems it's still there with 5.4.4 on some platforms. Is there any thorough solution? Or any workround with more documentations?

Thanks in advance!
