I found many differences as well. Been poking around on this thing for 3 
weeks, trying to find the least amount of recompiles needed. Had hoped 
that just tarballing php would do it but ran into issues with apxs. The 
http-devel from RH said it required http-2.0.44 but the latest rpm from 
RH was 2.0.40-21.5. Gave up on a work-around and tarballed http-2.0.47 
as well as php-4.3.2, openssl and an rpm for mysql-devel.

Seems to be good at this point. Will inform the list if I find anythng 
to be a problem.
