Description:
------------
two issues, in doc : config options

http://php.net/manual/en/configure.about.php

--enable-fastcgi
If this is enabled, the CGI module will be built with support for FastCGI also. 
Available since PHP 4.3.0
As of PHP 5.3.0 this argument no longer exists and is enabled by --enable-cgi 
instead.

--with-fastcgi
Build PHP as FastCGI application. No longer available as of PHP 4.3.0, instead 
you should use --enable-fastcgi .

--disable-cgi
Disable building CGI version of PHP. Available with PHP 4.3.0.
As of PHP 5.3.0 this argument enables FastCGI which previously had to be enabled 
using --enable-fastcgi.

does not seem to be --enable-fastcgi or --enable-cgi options, but --disable-cgi 
appears to build PHP as a FastCGI.

ALSO

sapi/cgi/README.FastCGI appears to be incorrect. 

it reads:

"Building PHP
------------

You must add '--enable-fastcgi' to the configure command on Linux or
OSX based systems to get fastcgi support in the php-cgi binary.  You
also must not use '--enable-discard-path'."


Seems this should be '--disable-cgi' to enable fastcgi.

That part of the documentation looks about right.  As of PHP
5.3.0, there is a single executable (php-cgi) which can be used as
CGI and FCGI processor.
