I get libs/libphp4 without an extension created. Same for shared modules. This happens on both FreeBSD and Linux with libtool-1.5.2. Removing the bundled ltmain.sh and running libtoolize --force it fixes it. I tracked it down to that shared_ext not being defined in our ltmain.sh but correctly defined in the libtool-1.5.2 ltmain.sh which libtoolize creates. This is definitely the cause of this report: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26645 And I think it may also be the root of a lot of the people reporting libphp4.la gets created and no libphp4.so which a number of bug reports mention. -Rasmus
