Build issues with Mac OSX 10.4

have you by any chance rebuilt the configure script with buildconf to
add another extension to your build? not thats it's necessary but is
sometimes the cause of the problem your having. if you ave incompatible
versions of the GNU tools (autoconf, automake, etc.) they can generate
buggy configure scripts from running buildconf. try checking the
versions on your system vs. the versions recommended for building php.

I've been trying to build PHP in Mac OS X Server 10.4.0

The OS is a fresh install with the appropriate graphic libs installed

It fails to configure with the switch '--with-gd' citing the following
error.

See `config.log' for more details.

Here's a tail of 'config.log', it yields little information on the
cause of the problem so I'm not sure what the problem is or what to do
about it.

#define PHP_SIGCHILD 0
#define SIZEOF_INT 4
#define SIZEOF_LONG 4
#define STDC_HEADERS 1
#define USE_GD_IMGSTRTTF 1
#define USE_GD_IMGSTRTTF 1
#define WORDS_BIGENDIAN
#define YYTEXT_POINTER 1

configure: exit 1

It built fine under Mac OS X Server 10.2.x - 10.3.x

Any ideas on the problem/solution or where to begin looking?
