According to bugzilla, there are lots of open bugs (132 to be exact)
containing the word 'php' in the summary. From a quick glimpse many of
them seem related to php-5.

It's Gentoo policy not to mark a package ARCH unless it has been in
portage for 30 days with no open bug reports (not counting enhancement
requests).

If you want to help you can start by going through those bug reports,
coming up with solutions and patches.

Sincerely,
Brix
