Sure you're right. I always build the SAPI alone, which is the debian
style. So in my mind this was always the case, but in fact it is not.
Anyway I think a '--libary-suffix' would do the trick nicely.

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.
