If this is something that would not affect regular PHP5 applications
adversely, then I can arrange to apply the hardening patch prior to
the next blastwave release of the php5 package set.  That would save
you having to compile and manage this change locally.  The php5 build
is non-trivial, given the number of extensions that are enabled.  For
your reference, however, you can examine the blastwave php5 build
config via the web.  The most interesting file for your purpose is
probably:

http://svn.blastwave.org/browser/csw/trunk/lang/php5/files/config.mk
