Static build of PHP5/Apache2

[Schraalhans Keukenmeester]

A plethora of articles on building PHP & Apache1 statically exist on the
web. However I have not been able to find a similar document on a static
compilation of PHP in an Apache2 executable.

I know using a modular (DSO) approach has gained popularity and is
considered 'the way forward' according to many, yet I'd still like to
build a monolithic version for a box I am configuring.

Is it all all possible with the later versions of PHP/Apache2?
Links and pointers _very_ welcome. Of course I'd be happy to also go
into the modular vs static debate, but I'd rather have that discussion
elsewhere and keep this thread to the point.

TIA

Sh.

It doesn't buy you anything except a slightly faster apache startup.

The performance is the same.
