modules loading problem

We have experienced some problems with loading modules under PHP4
RC1/2. The main system is Linux 2.2.x/ix86 on glibc 2.1.3/gcc
2.95 and apache 1.3.12 with EAPI extensions. But it seems that it
not depends on configuration. 

Symptoms from httpd log are:

PHP Fatal error:  Unable to load dynamic library 'pgsql.so' -
pgsql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Fatal error:  Unable to load dynamic library 'xml.so' -
xml.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
in Unknown on line 0
PHP Fatal error:  Unable to load dynamic library 'dba.so' -
dba.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
in Unknown on line 0
[and so on...]

extension_dir in php.ini is set correctly and the only way to fix
these errors we found setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a directory the
same as is in extension_dir, where modules actually are. It is
rather strange or even ugly solution, isn't it? Did we miss
something or it's a kind of silly bug?

PHP compile options were:
'./configure' 'i686-pld-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr'
'--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc'
'--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib'
'--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/usr/var'
'--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man'
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin'
