But they are. You have a libc-client in /usr/local/lib alongside other
libraries you are linking PHP against. You are trying to override the
version in /usr/local/lib with your own in some test directory. That's
something that is very tricky for autoconf and friends to resolve. We
may have something in a future version, but don't hold your breath.
And you should realize that any autoconf-based package, which is just
about everything these days, would have the exact same issue. This is
not a PHP-specific thing.

They _aren't_ lumped into /usr/local... if they WERE PHP wouldn't
break.
A user has a reasonable expectation that if
--with-foo=DIR
is specified,, then DIR _will_ be used to find parts of foo.
Not used sometimes at PHP's whim and skipped over othertimes.
AND phpinfo is lying. Ether fix it or remove the incorrect information
from the info screen.
People are _going_ to want to use test versions of libraries, etc that
are in specified places other than the "standard" locations (or
/usr/local/*). This is not a problem that is going to be specific to
me.

"Standard ld path" from my original statement also includes directories
that you point configure at for other stuff. If you want full control
you need to put these libraries into their own directories and not lump
them all into /usr/local/lib and expect PHP to sort out your mess.

>If you do have a version on your standard path, you can be
pretty sure that it is the one that gets used no matter
what.
That's actually NOT true unless the one on the standard
path is a .so and the "new" one (the one you want) is a .a.
Trust me; I've done a LOT of research into this lately :(

The configure script does check one at a time, but on the final link we
have to put all the -L entries in there. You more than likely have
other libraries that live in /usr/local/lib so they end up adding a
-L/usr/local/lib to the link line. This happens with every package I
know of and is just the way stuff works.
