Subject: buildconf and the generated configure script for PHP6 is faulty.
From: buildsmart@daleenterprise.com (BuildSmart)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

There appears to be an issue with the configure script generation  
that warrants further examination which might just be related to  
Darwin / Mac OSX but unconfirmed at this time.

I have tested this on 3 different machines with the same results and  
it places 2 lines in an incorrect/premature location within the  
configure script.

daleenterprise:/php6 root# ./buildconf --force

            To avoid this, install autoconf-2.13.

The offending lines: (showing 447 - 453)
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking whether rounding works as expected" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking whether rounding works as expected... $ECHO_C"  
 >&6

# so uname gets run too.
ac_hostname=`(hostname || uname -n) 2>/dev/null | sed 1q`

____________________________________________


The two offending lines should be much further into the configure  
script: (just before 105676 - 105680)
if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then

   PHP_ROUND_FUZZ=0.50000000001
   echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: cross compile" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}cross compile" >&6
