So I changed:

# Method to check whether dependent libraries are shared objects.
deplibs_check_method="unknown"

to

# Method to check whether dependent libraries are shared objects.
deplibs_check_method="pass_all"

This has worked! Thanks Brad. I wonder what the cause of the problem is.

libs dir now looks like:

root@cabernet /home/jesse/src/php/php-4.3.9 # ls -l libs/
total 3554
-rw-r--r--  1 root  jesse     1177 Nov 28 10:58 libphp4.la
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  jesse  3615533 Nov 28 10:58 libphp4.so

Great, after a 'make install' and 'apachectl stop ; apachectl 
startssl' all is good with the world (except that I've now broken 
IMP, which I see is because PEAR has dropped support for isWarning() 
... but you get that).

Cheers

Jesse
