OK, I tracked this down.  If you edit the spec file and remove the
"--enable-versioning" line and rebuild it will work; alternatively back
down to libtool 1.4.x. 

PHP relied on a feature of libtool not being implemented correctly;  
libtool 1.5 does implement it correctly, so PHP broke.  php-4.3.3-2 will
have the fix in Raw Hide.
