Subject: mysqlnd as a shared extension ?
From: Fedora@FamilleCollet.com (Remi Collet)

Hi,

Building 5.3.1 snapshot with options
      --with-mysql=shared,mysqlnd
      --with-mysqli=shared,mysqlnd
      --with-pdo-mysql=shared,mysqlnd

create 3 .so files, ok.
But mysqlnd extension still build as static within php core.

Is it a way to build mysqlnd as a shared extension ?

Don't find any option and .m4 file set this extension as static
(changing this result in a .so which cannot be load)

My goal will be to provides both solutions (libmysql and mysqlnd) to be
able to quickly switch from one to the other (for tests / benchmark)

Any idea / solution ?

Regards.

P.S. main question is probably, should we use mysqlnd under linux ?
