If you emerge dev-lang/php-5.3.28-r3 (maybe more recent versions), the compilation will fail with an error like: Zend/zend_language_parser.y:50.1-5: invalid directive: `%code' (with bison2.3 in my case) It seems to need bison2.3a minimum. See https://www.mail-archive.com/php-cvs@lists.php.net/msg55303.html Compilation works for me with bison 2.4.3. So the ebuild must have >=bison2.3a for depends
If you need, here is the result of emerge --info (after emerge worked): Portage 2.2.8-r1 (default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.5.3, unavailable, 3.4.45-sdf134-core2-64 x86_64)
