Help compiling PHP 5.2.3 on OS X

Hello,

I am having a problem compiling apache 2.2.4 with PHP 5.2.3 and mysql
5.0.45 on OS x 10.4.10

In trying to track down where the problem lies I was trying to take
as many variables out of the equation as I could and I found out
where the problem likely lies. And what I found out is that the
problem seems to lie with buildconf (I think).

Here is the issue:

I can compile php using the following configure line just as soon as
I extract the php tarball

./configure --with-apxs2=/app/apache2/bin/apxs --without-pear --with-
config-file-path=/app/ini --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

However as soon as I delete configure and run buildconf I can't get
php to compile.

You could easily tell me not to delete the configure script and run
autoconf, but unfortunately I need to do so in order to compile some
php extensions.

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here is the transcript

$ tar -zxvf php-5.2.3.tar.gz
$ cd php-5.2.3
$ rm configure
$ ./buildconf --force

You can see config.log at this location:

and the configure script here:

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
