The Autoconf macro AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR can set the location of the
auxiliary build tools such as config.guess, config.sub, and bundled
libtool scripts and moves these bundled files from the root directory
to the build subdirectory.
Additionally some changes in this context or as a part of obsoletion:
- The LT_TARGETS variable in build/build2.mk file was once used as a part
of the Automake step. It's not used anymore and has been refactored to
separate makedist script directly.
- ltconfig is not used anymore since libtool 1.4+
cf8d1563c2
- phpize file locations for the config.guess, config.sub, and ltmain.sh
has been refactored accordingly.
The `mkdep.awk` file was part of the previous *nix build system and was
used to create a .deps file with a list of dependencies that could be
processed by Automake further on.
Newer build system was done via 9d9d39a0de
and outdated files removed via 22815419f8
so the current file in the PHP source code is not used anymore.
Additionally, the *.slo files were processed by this file. The *.slo
files also used to be generated by older libtool so today, these don't
get generated anymore.
The `.deps` file(s) was once used by Automake and created to write
dependencies to it. The file creation has been removed via the commit
779c11af21.
The phpize and ./configure script create a redundant .deps file in a
PECL extension directory which might cause confusions why is it used.
Today it is no longer relevant so this redundant artefact can be
removed in the phpize configure script.
configure.ac was introduced in 2001 with automake-1.15 and autoconf-2.50
to replace the file named configure.in.
Autotools is preparing to remove configure.in in Automake 2.0.
All new software should be using configure.ac.
This also fixes Bug #69770 where extensions are creating configure.in

. Added --configure-options option to get configure line for current build
. Added --php-sapis option which shows SAPIs available
. Fixed problem with missing php binary when CLI is not build but CGI is.
- Fixed broken sed issues in phpize script
to full paths, the `shtool path` test would fail (because it only tests
for the existence of a bare filename in the current $PATH). We now test
the the executability of $PHP_AUTOCONF and $PHP_AUTOHEADER before falling
back to the `shtool path` test.
Later on, phpize will execute $PHP_AUTOCONF and $PHP_AUTOHEADER directly,
so they will work fine as either absolute paths or files within $PATH.
Also, improving the grammar of the error messages in the failure cases.
