It's actually not the only binary/script that is build.
--program-suffix|prefix affect also phpize, etc. scripts names.
And AFAIK, CLI binary is always build unless of course you disable it. :)
Patches are welcome.

When you build the Apache2 SAPI the only binary build is the module, so
'--program-suffix' is unused. Anyway it doesn't have to be the same
configuration option per say (though I don't see why not), but the
method of specifying the suffix with configure is much handier than
having it hard-coded in source. I've stated the reasons in the previous
e-mail.

Hi,
Why isn't the Apache module appended with the same suffix as the other
binaries (configuration option --program-suffix). It seems like the
logical solution here. That way you can have any different versions if
you want, but the default is just the overwrite.
Best regards,

Then you have the same reason to worry right now - every php5 install
from 5.0.0 to 5.2.3 overwrites libphp5.so.
There was a time where one could have 2 php mod versions running at
once, as I recall, and having different filenames was kinda important,
eh?
Well, there was a setting that kinda allowed that, but I'm not sure it
ever worked correctly - there are all sorts of symbol clashes, etc.
On the other hand, you can happily run two (or a dozen :) PHP versions
right now - just install any FastCGI implementation, compile two
cgi-fcgi PHPs and install. Only thing you would need to care about is
to give them separate php.ini's and/or separate extension directories.
