I'm using php4.0.3pl1

I wanted to write my own ext modult to php, so I did this:

tar xvfz php-4.0.3pl1.tar.gz
cd php-4.0.3pl1
cd ext
./ext_skel --extname=gibs --xml --assign-params
(I have also tried w/o --xml and --assign-params
cd ..
./buildconf
vim ext/gibs/config.m4

--config.m4--
PHP_ARG_ENABLE(gibs, whether to enable gibs support,
dnl Make sure that the comment is aligned:
[  --enable-gibs           Enable gibs support])

if test "$PHP_GIBS" != "no"; then
  dnl If you will not be testing anything external, like existence of
  dnl headers, libraries or functions in them, just uncomment the
  dnl following line and you are ready to go.
  dnl Write more examples of tests here...
  PHP_EXTENSION(gibs, $ext_shared)
fi
-------------

./configure --enable-gibs --without-mysql --without-xml
(also tried w/o --without-mysql and --without-xml)
make
./php -f ext/gibs/gibs.php
Module gibs is not compiled into PHP

huh what is the problem?

after many tries I have downloaded php-latest (php4-200012130345)

I followed the previous steps, and after running ./php -f ext/gibs/gibs.php it resonded with:
Congratulations, you have successfully modified ext/gibs/config.m4, module gibs is compiled into PHP

Is php4pl1 buggy?

can I use php4-200012130345 (it is stable enough?) or I should wait for php 4.0.4, or am I doing something wrong?
