PHP on PPC little-endian? Conflicts w/ ncurses big-endian

PHP on PPC little-endian? Conflicts w/ ncurses big-endian

[Eliyahu Skoczylas]

Hi!

I'm building for PPC405 (using a new machine .conf that I'll upload when
the board is released).

So far, everything has built and run successfully, but I just tried
adding in PHP.

Every time it conflicts with libncurses:

At first I thought it was a problem with ncurses, and I tried rebuilding
using older recipes and version of ncurses, but no luck.
(And why does PHP need ncurses, anyway?)
But suddenly it hit me - this is the target version for ppc405, and
libncurses.so.5 is CORRECTLY big-endian.  The problem is that PHP (or at
least autoreconf for PHP) wants little-endian.

Has no one built PHP recently for a big-endian platform?  Besides the
php-5.2.6-r2 in .dev, I also tried php-5.2.0-r1 from .stable and got the
same thing.

[Eliyahu Skoczylas]

FWIW, php-5.1.4-r2 from .stable does NOT have this problem.
So it seems like something might have broken w/ big-endian PHP in
transition from 5.1.4 to 5.2.0.

Your host autoreconf (most likely i386) is trying to link with target 
libncurses (ppc405). I'm not sure how you expect that to work when 
changing that to LE ppc binaries.

Yes, I saw that.

Note the place that the log data is coming from:

This is in the target stage (ppc405-linux) instead of the host stage
(i686-linux).

My question is better stated as:

+++ Why is php-5.2.6-r2 (and php-5.2.0-r1 before it) using a HOST
autoreconf when building (and linking to) a TARGET binary?

Thanks for helping me to clarify that.

because your host can't run target binaries

Thank you.  I know that.

I'm asking why several versions of PHP are trying to do what we all
agree can NOT be done when all other builds in this environment, with
the same site.conf, local.conf, minimal.conf, and MACHINE.conf did NOT
do that and worked correctly.

Also note that php-5.1.4-r2 does NOT do that.  (I just rebuilt the
system with PHP 5.1.4 and am testing it.)

This behavior started with php-5.2.0.-r1, AFAICT.
