Of course not... strangely enough it did correctly figure out the other
associated php packages (kicking out -1.6.x in favor of -8)... could this be
related to the fact that these are redhat 6.2 packages (rpm v3)?

And I wasn't too concerned about it (I've gotten real used to spurious
warnings with gcc :-) ), but I did clean up the tree rather than gamble, so
I can't tell you if it actually did the-right-thing(tm)...
