 [2019-11-06 12:39 UTC] php at shyim dot de 
Description:
------------
Before running ./configure
cat main/php_version.h 
/* automatically generated by configure */
/* edit configure.ac to change version number */
#define PHP_MAJOR_VERSION 7
#define PHP_MINOR_VERSION 4
#define PHP_RELEASE_VERSION 0
#define PHP_EXTRA_VERSION "RC5"
#define PHP_VERSION "7.4.0RC5"
#define PHP_VERSION_ID 70400

After running ./configure

cat main/php_version.h 
/* automatically generated by configure */
/* edit configure.ac to change version number */
#define PHP_MAJOR_VERSION linux
#define PHP_MINOR_VERSION gnu
#define PHP_RELEASE_VERSION 
#define PHP_EXTRA_VERSION ""
#define PHP_VERSION "linux.gnu."
#define PHP_VERSION_ID 

Should this file not readonly / fixed to version?

Test script:
---------------
cat main/php_version.h 
./configure
cat main/php_version.h 

Expected result:
----------------
./configure does not modify main/php_version.h

Did you make any changes to your configure.ac? What does the AC_INIT (line ~20) say?
 [2019-11-06 13:02 UTC] php at shyim dot de 
I just did
wget https://downloads.php.net/~derick/php-7.4.0RC5.tar.bz2
tar xf php-7.4.0RC5.tar.bz2
cd php-7.4.0RC5
./configure

and that file is so wrong generated.

2.69 should be good.

I guess I have found the issue

checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /nix/store/5bzp9gfa14j4a1rbxxf6d574a4qgmqi9-gnused-4.7/bin/sed
./configure: line 3832: /nix/store/5bzp9gfa14j4a1rbxxf6d574a4qgmqi9-gnused-4: No such file or directory

Line 3842: set $(echo 7.4.0RC5 | $SED 's/\([0-9\.]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/')

I have outputted the $SED it contains "/nix/store/5bzp9gfa14j4a1rbxxf6d574a4qgmqi9-gnused-4 7/bin/sed"
The dot is missing in path

The problem seems to be some missing escaping when using relative paths, and changing the IFS to ".":
$ cat tmp.sh
#!/bin/bash

executable_sed=$(which sed)
relative_sed_location=$(realpath --relative-to="." "${executable_sed}")
relative_executable_sed=./${relative_sed_location}
echo ${executable_sed}
echo ${relative_sed_location}
echo ${relative_executable_sed}

version=7.4.0RC5

echo ${version} | ${sed_location} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'
echo ${version} | ./${relative_sed_location} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'

IFS="."
echo ${version} | ${sed_location} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'
echo ${version} | ${relative_executable_sed} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'

echo "${relative_executable_sed}"
echo ${relative_executable_sed}

echo ${version} | "${executable_sed}" 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'
echo ${version} | "${relative_executable_sed}" 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'

Sorry I messed up the console output and sent the wrong output -.-

Here is the corrected one:
$ cat tmp.sh
#!/bin/bash

executable_sed=$(which sed)
relative_sed_location=$(realpath --relative-to="." "${executable_sed}")
relative_executable_sed=./${relative_sed_location}
echo ${executable_sed}
echo ${relative_sed_location}
echo ${relative_executable_sed}

version=7.4.0RC5

echo ${version} | ${executable_sed} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'
echo ${version} | ./${relative_sed_location} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'

IFS="."
echo ${version} | ${executable_sed} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'
echo ${version} | ${relative_executable_sed} 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'

echo "${relative_executable_sed}"
echo ${relative_executable_sed}

echo ${version} | "${executable_sed}" 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'
echo ${version} | "${relative_executable_sed}" 's/\([[0-9\.]]*\)\(.*\)/\1\.\2/'


$ ./tmp.sh
