 > >Description:
 > 	The mail/imp3 port's Makefile contains code to ensure that PHP was
 > 	compiled with support for various features that IMP requires.
 > 	These tests run ldd(1) on the PHP module and check for references
 > 	to specific libraries.  The problem is that the checks specify
 > 	particular library versions which may not match up with the versions
 > 	actually used.  IMP should not care about the particular version,
 > 	only whether PHP has the necessary support.
 > >How-To-Repeat:
 > 	Build PHP4 with MySQL version 4.x; then try to build Imp3.  It
 > 	will stop and ask you to configure PHP with a database support.
 
 This has been fixed by PR ports/54656, and committed tonight with
 PR ports/56099.
 
 Thanks.
