Well curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to have another go tonight.
Only had a few problems, but I was able to successfully compile PHP 5.2.5
without default extensions (./configure --disable-all).

The main problem I had was missing POSIX headers (search.h, features.h, and
fnmatch.h). Should I open up some enhancement tickets in Trac about those?
Only one modification to the PHP source was required, and that was over an
undefined MSG_PEEK.

Now I'm going to work on getting the extensions built too.
