Odd lossage

["James H. Cloos Jr." <cl...@jhcloos.com>]

I was just trying to get php3 (from CVS) compiled in to the latest 1.3
CVS, and got hit by this unusual error.

I think this diff is most illustrative:

====================cut====================

The first directory was used for a test of 1.3 + modperl, the latter
for the failed test of 1.3 plus php3.  The lack of HAVE_UNISTD_H
caused alloc.c to fail to compile, since STDIN_FILENO et al were note
defined.

The cause of the lossage you ask?

I'd configured a number of php3's extra bits, including the IMAP
module.  Needing UW imapd's c-client.a, and having a full mirror of
redhat-5.1 on this box, I installed imap-4.1.final-1.src.rpm from the
updates and `rpm -bc'ed it, manually installing the library and 3
needed headers in /usr/local.

And here is the stickler: since rpm added in RedHat's patches, the
resultant c-client.a is dependent on libpam.  Added env LIBS=-lpam to
the ./configure causes the lossage.  Seems linking against it breaks
the tests in TestCompile.

Now, I'm not too sure what possible reason the client lib would have
to reference libpam (the server sure; but the client?!) so I'll just
recompile libc-client.a.  An easy workaround^Wfix.

Just a heads up, in case anyone else runs into this.
