[Microcode-general] Cannot cimpile microcode.so - php make error

[Andy S. <mic...@sa...>]

I've been over and over everything with a fine tooth comb, and cannot 
see what I am doing wrong here. I cannot for the life of me get php 
(4.3.0) to compile microcode.so (on RedHat 7.2). I have followed all 
information to a T, but all the time, I get php compile errors:

gcc: ext/microcode/customize.lo: No such file or directory
make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1

I have the symlink customize.o -> customize.lo present in ext/microcode 
but customize.lo does not exist at all.

What am I doing wrong????

After this error, the state of ext/microcode is

ciphers.c  ciphers.lo  config.m4    customize.o  eval.lo  libs.mk  
Makefile.in  microcode.lo  php_microcode.h
ciphers.h  ciphers.o   customize.h  eval.c       eval.o   LICENSE  
microcode.c  microcode.o   README

and I have to delete the microcode source directory and untar the 
tarball again to retry (make clean doesn't clean the ext/microcode up 
to its original state)

_Any_ help would be appreciated... I would really like to get microcode 
working :)

Thanks
Andy
