Well, the configure output claims that something is wrong, therefore the build can not be trusted.

I access the release source tarball only. gcc-spec_node002 $ digest -a sha1 /usr/local/src/php-5.4.10.tar.gz 6be6a1c16ca3f6bec93d19ce5d6b94c5cf89373b That is the only php sources I am allowed to use. Anything else is not "release" and therefore not to be used on prod servers. > > I think we should retire this silly check, as it needs updating every > time there is a new version. Instead, we should blacklist versions > that *don't* work. Well bison 2.6.5 passes all of its own tests and therefore seems to be "okay for prod". I would think that a PHP release would build more or less out of the box without any changes to the source tarball. If PHP can not be built from the release tarball with the typical GNU toolchain then .. it can't be built. I just tick off a box on the build sheet here as "does not build in compliance with defacto standard rules" and it goes back onto the "update at some point" pile.
