When trying to emerge php or mod_php, I get this message just after the configure step: +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | *** ATTENTION *** | | | | Something is likely to be messed up here, because the configure | | script was not able to detect a simple feature on your platform. | | This is often caused by incorrect configuration parameters.

what USE flags are in use? gcc version?
USE="-3dnow aalib -apm -arts -berkdb dvd -gdbm -gpm -java -kde -mikmod mysql -nls oss perl xml" gcc = 2.95.3
So far I have been unable to recreate this.
after much playing around, I've found that for whatever reason, doing a clean './configure' with no options clears something out and a subsequent ./configure with the origional options will then "just work". it appears to be related to the problem in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=11477 , as even with my clean configure in there, the same thing happens as in that forum thread. i removed --with-gmp, and everything worked, even without a clean ./configure.
I've disabled gmp support by default now
