Hi there,
the default build process of PHP on Unix/Linux links together all code
needed for any SAPI that one builds (excluding dynamically loadable
extensions). This often leads to relatively big SAPI shared object
files. But most of this code is exactly the same for all SAPIs. That
adds considerable to the package size if one ships e.g. CLI, CGI,
mod_php and FPM.
One could instead use one common shared library which conatins most of
the code and only small additional SAPI shared object files with the
SAPI specifics.
I twisted the existing build process to achieve this building of a
common lib plus one shared object per SAPI and it seems to work well. Is
there any interest in adopting the existing build process to this?
I can provide details how I do it currently. I use it for 5.5 and 5.6,
but I expect it to work similarly for master which would probably be the
target for the change.
Thanks for any feedback,
Rainer
