PHP doesn't compile on it so what other advantage does that give you other than not being compatible with most installs? Get rid of your error hiding. Suppressing errors means you don't see them either therefore cannot fix them. The better solution is to turn display_errors off and leave logging on. My guess is that it is trying to link to a directory, a . hidden file, or something else that shouldn't be there. If it were my script I would probably use a glob() type solution so that I can pick the ext's I want.
