Comment:

 The segfault is fixed by r15380 + r15381 (it looks like an OS X limitation
 which prevents std::string members of static objects, but I didn't
 investigate that as I don't have OS X and the patched version seems better
 anyway).

 Let's make this ticket about upgrading SWIG, since it has a patch for that
 already.

 I think PHP didn't work last time I tried a more recent SWIG.

 Suitable for 1.2.x, provided we're careful (usually we compare the
 generated code for each language before and after, which means we should
 spot potential issues).
