That's a co-incidence then, as this:
--with-domxml=/usr/lib
is NOT working as you might think. You always need to do:
--with-domxml=/usr
as the php checks add /lib for you.

Where are the inconsistencies, can you point those out?

PHP's ./configure needs to be fixed of course, though for now the
suggested patches are a bit suboptimal iirc. I would like to give it a
shot, but I'll need to have access to a linux running on 64bit first :)
