using fw_apache 1.3.4 (precompiled apache distribution from freeware.sgi.com which is distributed with mod_so activated) I was able to use the SGI compiler (cc, not gcc, since that's what they used to build fw_apache) version 7.2.1 and build --with-apxs and --enable-versioning (and with mysql).  It works just fine!  The only thing missing is that the php-3 instructions don't mention anything about copying php3.ini-dist to /usr/local/lib/php3.ini

php3: CC=cc ./configure --enable-versioning --with-apxs=/usr/freeware/apache/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/people/kjw/Ftp/mysql --enable-track-vars  

php4: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/freeware/apache/sbin/apxs --enable-versioning --with-mysql --enable-track-vars 

Note that I may have to recompile php4 in the near future if the gcc built version doesn't work. the gcc php3 version segfaults right away, but php4 seems to have worked, at least for phpinfo() 8>
