Hallo Reini,
if you ask me, the PHP build system is broken.
I tried to build 5.0.1, I'm getting no lipphp, no shared modules,
libdb is not found... If you specify an extension and the relevant
dependency is not available the configure exits, it is terrible, this
sucks really.
How do I need to configure to get a shared library? Shared modules?
Why isn't there a howto about this in the source dist included? Who
is responsible for this broken system?
If I call `make libphp5.la` I get a static archive, no DLL, it is
weird...
I hate this package since I tried to build it the first time.

My executable is 8 MB stripped.

I don't know, pdflib-lite is available as source, isn't the license
OSI approved? I don't have aspell installed, but if it is available
as shared module, why not?

Why don't I get a shared libphp? How to configure it to get it with
shared modules?
