Description:
------------
Running
CFLAGS=-O2 -qcpluscmt ./configure \ 
        --prefix=/opt \ 
        --sysconfdir=/var/php/etc \ 
        --sharedstatedir=/var/php/com \ 
        --localstatedir=/var/php \ 
        --mandir=/usr/share/man

fails because it does not find files in ${prefix}/lib and/or ${prefix}/include

Test script:
---------------
CFLAGS=-O2 -qcpluscmt ./configure \ 
        --prefix=/opt \ 
        --sysconfdir=/var/php/etc --sharedstatedir=/var/php/com \ 
        --localstatedir=/var/php  --mandir=/usr/share/man


Expected result:
----------------
+ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/root/php-5.3.20.0 > build/aix/install.out
+ mkinstallp.ksh /var/tmp/root/php-5.3.20.0 > build/aix/mkinstallp.out

To resolve this I do the following:
vi ./configure
:1,$s/\/usr\/local/\/opt/g
:wq

And repeat the configure command, which create a Makefile that compiles successfully.

No idea if it is an autoconf error (that is generating the configure script, or if new input is needed - as only SOME libraries fail (libxml2 is the first to fail).
