When using an alternative ROOT, the compilation of PHP hangs in the configure phase. PHP 5.3 does not throw any error message, PHP 5.2.17 throws file not found errors as shown in the attached log. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir rootfs 2.

have you tried with EROOT instead of ROOT ?
ROOT/EROOT should have no bearing whatsoever on compilation of a package. those variables should only ever be used in pkg_* for installing.
I cannot reproduce this. It installs fine for me. What will fail is the install of symbolic links handled by eselect-php. But those should be trivial enough to recreate manually.
Have the same issue here, last lines of emerge debug output: + echo ' * econf: updating sapis-build/cli/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess' * econf: updating sapis-build/cli/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess + cp -f /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/php-5.3.8/work/sapis-build/cli/config.guess + read -r -d '' x + has 4 0 1 2 3 3_pre2 + local needle=4 + shift + local x + for x in '"$@"' + '[' 0 = 4 ']' + for x in '"$@"' + '[' 1 = 4 ']' + for x in '"$@"' + '[' 2 = 4 ']' + for x in '"$@"' + '[' 3 = 4 ']' + for x in '"$@"' + '[' 3_pre2 = 4 ']' + return 1 + ./configure --help + grep -q disable-dependency-tracking The following processes are running: /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/emerge -avd =dev-lang/php-5.3.8 [dev-lang/php-5.3.8] sandbox "/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh" config /bin/bash /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh configure /bin/bash /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh configure /bin/sh ./configure --help yes grep -q disable-dependency-tracking And that /usr/bin/yes eats 100% cpu and goes on forever. As Nicolas mentioned, a manual ./configure in the work directory results in very strange output about bad file descriptors etc. I hope there is no line like: /usr/sbin/yes | ./configure --help | grep -q disable-dependeny-tracking involved somewhere in those econf scripts, with that strance .configure output this could lead to a situation like we encountered. Thanks for any hints where to look.
With PHP 5.4, this works as intended.
With php 5.4, we have proper prefix support and the newer eselect-php scritps works fine with me when building with a custom root.
