Re: php compilation fix

["Michael A. Peters" <mpeters@omnilinux.com>]

Thanks! That patch worked beautifully on PowerPC, and mod_php-gd builds and the
gd.so module loads.

What we decided to do (until an official patch comes from zend) is only apply
that patch when the src rpm builds for PowerPC, even though the patch may
benefit i386 as well.

But the nice thing is that I now have the RPM's, all of them including
mod_php-gd, working on both platforms. linux-Sparc64 is next (hopefully it will
at most just need the ppc patch, hopefully...)

Once again, Thanks!
