/bin/sh -x configure tries to display the help info and ends in this:

Libtool:

  --with-gnu-ld           assume the C compiler uses GNU ld

sorry, I didn't think about running config.guess, it does guess:

alphaev56-dec-osf5.1

which is the right one

And if that above command works, run this:

# /bin/sh -x configure

Let's try again: What does this command _output_ when you run it:

# ./config.guess

I just grabbed the snapshot php4-STABLE-200502221530.tar.gz
I'm not changing anything in config.guess or anything else.
here's how far it goes:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type;
you must specify one

and config.log has just this:

configure:1653: checking host system type

the host type that should be detected usually is:

alphaev56-dec-osf5.1

If I'm feeding it to the configure line then it allows it to proceed.

What else should I try to track this problem?

What does this command run in the source directory output:

# ./config.guess
