Oracle, or its processor, whatever the name was back then, ended
_extended_ support for MySQL 4.0 in 2008. I doubt the latest version of
PHP have to support it ;-)

Thanks for the pointer in the right direction. The problem only happens
when compiling against MySQL 4.0. When using MySQL 4.1 and above it
compiles correctly.

Oh and one more comment: Old versions of gcc are quite liberal with
their C iterpretation. Modern versions provide options to check this
more strictly (see -W options in the docs) if you want. Other compilers
might do even better.

The actual issue is not C99 or such but that you are using an outdated
version of libmsql. You probabl might be successfull when using mysqlnd
(--with-mysql=mysqlnd --with-msqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=msqlnd) or
updating your libmysql version.
The C99 macros are only used when using --enable-debug and GCC is
detected.

Also, to be clear, the compile that failed was linking with
libmysqlclient (MySQL 4.0.27), not mysqlnd. As far as I can tell
though, this has no bearing on the compile failure.

Just to be clear, the idea that RedHat 7.3 isn't supported is fine with
me. It's an ancient system and supporting it shouldn't factor into
anyone else's decision making. I always test with RedHat 7.3 because GCC
2.95 points out these types of bugs that many modern compilers allow
without complaint.
I'm a little concerned that PHP is going to suddenly start requiring a
C99 compatible compiler without testing the compiler for C99 support or
putting the compiler into C99 mode though.
PHP 5.3.3 did not require a C99 compatible compiler as far as I'm aware.
