Re: Bug id #3386 - Informix related

At some point PHP4 introduced the use of "libtool"in the configure process. This makes it much easier to build shared object versions of your programs. However, there is a problem with libtool : you can't easily specify libraries with their full name (libxxx.a for instance). If you need to specify static libraries : copy them all to one directory, add this directory to your LDFLAGS (-Llibdirectory) and specify the static libraries as -lxxx instead of as libxxx.a in your LDFLAGS or CFLAGS. Make sure that there are no ".so" versions of that same library in your library paths. This should fix the problem with libtool. Sascha already had to provide a work-around for ".o" files (checkapi.o) in the PHP/Informix configure process, but it does not work for ".a" files. Linking with the shared object versions of the Informix libraries should be no problem with libtool.
