Can you try applying the patch I'm about to upload, then rebuilding configure by
running ./buildconf, please? (You may need to use ./buildconf --force if you're
using a release tarball; note that you'll require autoconf 2.59 or later.)

Addendum: This is my shell version:
# echo $SH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2

Just tried this on:
OpenBSD puffy.lan 4.9 GENERIC#477 amd64
bash-4.1# /bin/sh
# /bin/sh
# cd /root/
# pwd
/root
# cd /usr/"local"
# pwd
/usr/local

So, a quick test on FreeBSD:
$ /bin/sh
$ cd /usr/"local"
$ pwd
/usr/local
That doesn't work on your machine?
We can't just remove the quotes there because it would break directory names
with spaces and other shell-special characters in them. cd is a built-in in the
shell and should support quoted literals. autoconf obviously relies on this
being the case. Have you done something interesting to your /bin/sh on this box?

So basically autoconf generates a configure script that doesn't work on OpenBSD?
That sounds a bit suspicious and I wonder why nobody else has reported it.
Anything special about your environment?
And can you reproduce just with just running the ./configure script with no args
that comes with the php-5.5.0 tarball?
I just tested it again on FreeBSD 9.0 and it worked flawlessly, so it is not a
generic BSD issue. It is either OpenBSD-specific or specific to your
environment.
