[Bug 1320172] Re: Installing pecl pthreads failes due to missing php "--enable-maintainer-zts" option

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

What are the implications for adding this configure option, please? Why
don't upstream have it enabled by default already? Is this because there
are negative consequences for some proportion of users? If this were a
no-brainer, it'd be enabled by default upstream, right?

Some searching finds:

We inherit Debian's compile-time configuration in Ubuntu by default, and
I'm reluctant to make a change like this unless Debian also chooses to
do so, because of potential support implications.

So without further information and confidence that this won't regress
anything, or unless Debian also enables this option, I don't think this
can make any progress in Ubuntu.

I suggest that you check that Debian is also affected, check the Debian
BTS and file a bug in Debian if there isn't one there already.
