 Status:           Open
 Bug Type:         Compile Failure
 Operating System: Gentoo Linux
 PHP Version:      5.2.4_pre200708051230-rc2
 New Comment:

instead of going into pointless distro bashing, why dont you actually
review the issue ... this is not a Gentoo specific problem nor are there
any "Gentoo hacks" in place here.

the problem is that the php script incorrectly throws -rpath's into
binaries without checking to see if they are actually needed.  it starts
with the -lXpm check coming from ext/gd/config.m4 but quickly filters
down into PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH in the acinclude.m4.

that function should really test to see if the -L and/or -rpath is
needed in the first place:
 (1) see if the requested -llib works
 (2) see if the requested -llib + -Lpath works
 (3) see if the requested -llib + -Lpath + -Wl,-rpath,path works

Using proper configure line and not defining any LDFLAGS/CFLAGS when
not necessary works just fine. And only -Wl, rpath stuff is in configure
to check whether compiler supports it or not.

For me configure works just fine under Fedora. If Gentoo chooses to do
some hacks of their own, that is none of our business.

I don't know whether this is just Gentoo specific, but there are
numerous occurrences of -Wl,-rpath switches in the top level configure
and acinclude.m4 scripts. On my system, these switches force ld.so to
look for libedit.so in /usr/X11R6/lib, where it does not find an ELF
library but a linker script. With -Wl,-rpath these scripts are not
followed, and therefore linking the conftests fails.

I didn't ask you to test some gentoo crap, this is PHP, report bugs in
Gentoo to their system.

This is the latest version I have tested:

5.2.4_pre200708051230-rc2

I don't have the time to create an ebuild for newer snapshots, but I
will be happy to test once a new ebuild is in gentoo portage.
