It looks like two entirely different problems (from this and the
original question).

 - Bill's problem: Somethings are really picky about autoconf, etc.  I
think you need to upgrade.  C compiler producing executables - do you
have Sun Workshop installed with the licence and all?  Probably would be
a good idea to install gcc.  And in a place where autoconf can find it.

 - Greg's question:  What are you running ./configure for?  My
distribution of Stronghold has the Apache src directory in which you run
./Configure.  The inability to generate a proper Makefile was a failure
in Configure, because my system (Solaris 2.5.1) already has a proper
regex library and it's hardcoded in the php code to use the bundled
one.  Here's what I did:
in modules/php-2.0, edit install - change the REGEX section to N instead
of Y (right after $auto)

Does this help?
