	If you haven't cvsup'ped your ports in awhile to the
latest available, I highly recommend doing so.  Check out
/usr/ports/lang/php4/Makefile and you'll see different ways to
deal with this problem.  My Makefile is v 1.32 from 2003/10/13
05:59:45 and has all the scoop on how to avoid this problem.

"We are not enemies, but friends.  We must not be enemies.
Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of
affection.  The mystic cords of memory will swell when again
touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our
nature."
