That error is emitted by the configure script from upstream, not by the
ebuild, so it's a generic error intended to help someone doing a manual
configure and make, not someone simply running the ebuild script as part
of a Gentoo automated build.  Thus, it's not talking about make.conf,
which is Gentoo specific, but about the environment within the script, as
setup by the ebuild.

IOW, it's probably an ebuild bug.

You don't still have confcache installed and FEATURES=confcache, do you?
If you do, try turning off confcache, as that's no longer Gentoo
supported.  (Some of us still run it, but know to try turning it off if
there are issues before trying much else and certainly before filing
bugs.)  You can turn it off for just that package by creating a file /etc/
portage/env/<category>/<package> , in this case, /etc/portage/env/dev-
lang/php , and putting within it a single line, FEATURE=-confcache .

If confcache isn't the issue, as usual, check bugzilla, and cc yourself
to the appropriate bug if desired or file one if necessary.  (As it
happens, I see one already filed for this error, http://bugs.gentoo.org/
show_bug.cgi?id=179034 , filed just today it appears.)
