 New Comment:

the expr info page suggests the expr tests in configure should be 
quoted with a leading space to avoid being interpreted as flags and 
remain as portable as possible:

Passing -- to mark the end of flags for expr doesn't work everywhere.

I had similar problem with php5.2.3 and php4.4.7. I was building php
for my horde package and the following was observed when running
configure(Sun Sparc Solaris 2.9):
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php.5.23 
> --with-apxs=/usr/apache2/bin/apxs \
>   
> >> --with-gettext --with-dom \
> >> --with-iconv --enable-mbstring=all --enable-mbregex \ 
> >> --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
> >>     
> creating cache ./config.cache
> checking for Cygwin environment... no
> checking for mingw32 environment... no checking for egrep... egrep 
> checking for a sed that does not truncate output...
/usr/local/bin/sed
> expr: syntax error
> ../configure: test: argument expected

I used gnu sed when I had the problem when using the Solairs sed.

What kind of Bash are you using? What is the version #?
