I can see comewhere in the past target php5-3 was removed. I did manually change in ebuild (pecl-mongo-1.4.4) and compiled pecl without problem. My customer confirmed that pecl works correctly. Reproducible: Always
This is intentional. PHP 5.3 is reaching EOL and will be masked early next year. Thus we are gradually removing support for 5.3 in the pecl ebuilds.
Imho it shouldn't be removed support for 5.3 in pecl's ebuilds before php-5.3 will be masked. It is inconvenient for users (at least for one user;)). I think that php-5.3 shouldn't be removed from tree if it isn't meet one of the condition: - it has serious build problem - it has security problem (and upstream is not going to fix it) Sometimes I've got feeling that packages are removed from tree a litlle too fast.
