[gentoo-user] PHP5 Quick Question

Is there a way to build the php 5 extensions (I.E. GD, mysql, etc) as 
external libraries instead of compiling it all into the core? I assume this 
is the sharedext flag but I want to make sure before I go try it and muck 
things up.

Most of the extensions are external libraries though there are one or two
USE flags to explicitly configure it (such as "gd-external" etc).

Hmm... for some reason when I emerged PHP 5 it built all the extensions into 
the core and now its running very slow (4 ms for most pages as opposed to 
.007 ms for the same page under PHP 4) my use flags are...

dev-db/php apache2 mysql xml xml2 msession gd bcmath bzip2 calendar curl ftp 
iconv odbc ldap snmp imap memlimit mhash mysqli posix simplexml sharedmem 
soap sockets threads tidy wddx xmlrpc xsl exif cpdflib mime session

Am I missing something?

$ grep sharedext /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc       
sharedext - Adds support for building shared extensions in php

sounds good, doesn't it ;-)?

Regarding the "gd-external" A. Khattri mentioned, I think this is to
make php use a separately compiled (by emerging it as a dependency) GD
lib instead of using the sources that php has integrated.
