I doubt it. But you can try of course.

I would do this. It's not that hard really. Run a php script with phpinfo() in 
it with the current version of PHP that you have now, so you can see what are 
all the configure options. You may not need all that, but it's good as 
reference to get you started quickly. Copy that and save it in some file. 
Then run configure from the php*.tar.gz with those options that you need. 
I'll probably take about 10 mins on any decent machine.
