That's a hen and egg problem then - one would need PHP to build PHP and
we don't have the infrastructure to provide binaries for all the
platforms we support (there's more than Linux and Windows)
And then you have to do quite some work others already did for finding
system difference - and keep the systems database and/or checks up to
date - that's far from our scope.
Please read about what the autotools, cmake and others are doing.
