Indeed, this is a typical invocation of libtool which causes such
seg-faults:

/bin/sh /usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/libtool --silent
- --preserve-dup-deps --mode=compile cc  -Isapi/cli/
- -I/usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/sapi/cli/
- -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/include
- -I/usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/main
- -I/usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6 -I/usr/local/include/libxml2
- -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/ext/date/lib
- -I/usr/ports/lang /php5/work/php-5.2.6/TSRM
- -I/usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/Zend
- -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing
- -c /usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.2.6/sapi/cli/php_cli_readline.c
- -o sapi/cli/php_cli_readline.lo

I say it's random, because re-issuing the command manually doesn't cause
any problem.
