You should really switch to PHP 5...
Though I suspect I know what the problem here maybe, I'll be a troll here and point out, that php 4 is masked for a good reason, this bug has a pretty good chance of being closed as invalid as php gentoo team doesn't care about php4 anymore (that was actually explicitly mentioned in one of the bugs here) and quote something straight from php homepage (about 4.4.8 release): "This release wraps up all the outstanding patches for the PHP 4.4 series, and is therefore the last normal PHP 4.4 release. If necessary, releases to address security issues could be made until 2008-08-08.".
If your really interested search for php libtool bug, they changed something in the eclasses then, but didn't bother to fix php4.
Carsten, switching means the developers need to get payed to take every app written in the last 8 years and make it work on php 5. This php 4 release worked at a time in the past, so this is a regression that I think should be fixed.
We are no longer supporting php-4 for a reason -- it's impossible for us to keep track of the security problems with upstream completely dropping support for it. So, I'll close this as WONTFIX. If you've got a working patch, I might commit it, but I won't waste any time for php-4 anymore, sorry.

And not switching means being vulnerable to lots of security problems. > This php 4 release worked at a time in the past, so this is a regression that I > think should be fixed. php is already *very* conservative regarding external dependencies (especially autotools), which is very problematic on Gentoo. I guess php-4 depends on even older stuff, so you almost certainly won't get any upstream help for that either.

If you never assigned any budget to move to the next PHP version, before the one you're using reached end of live, you get what you deserve and - in case of having customers - are guilty leaving them with vulnerable systems. Of course you need to pay developers to do maintenance work.
Well, I'm not the one who makes those decisions... so I don't really feel guilty... I'll just pass on this info. Thanks anyway...
