That's what I'm saying - you can't handle my case automatically since 
php-config
does not report the right paths (php-config knows about the php built when it
was build, not about a binary version of php installed previously). So we have
to add the flags by hand. Or to alter php-config with our special flags.

Nope - I'm trading complete error logs for tarballs of HEAD (I can't 
access the
CVS server because of a nasty proxy) with Kevin Ruland via private 
e-mails, and
hopefully he will be able to fix it.
