The CI fail is apparently unrelated, there are similar failures in other PRs, e.g. https://github.com/php/php-src/actions/runs/13055452548/job/36425257936 |

When installing executables that were built using libtool, we are supposed to use $ libtool --mode-install <install-command> rather than the bare <install-command>. This is discussed ever so briefly in the "Installing executables" section of the GNU libtool documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html So far this has not caused a problem with GNU libtool on the platforms that PHP supports, but there is an alternate libtool implementation called slibtool that stores wrappers at the locations where PHP is expecting the true executables to live. As a result, the wrappers (and not the executables) are installed when slibtool is used to build PHP. This is fixed by replacing, $(INSTALL) with $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL) in the install-foo rules for the executables that are built with libtool. Closes phpGH-13674

I just sat down to fix this, and then I noticed there was a PR linked from the issue, and then I noticed that I was the author of the PR. So I guess let's rebase onto 8.4 now that 8.3 is EOL for bug fixes? |

When installing executables that were built using libtool, we are supposed to use
rather than the bare
<install-command>. This is discussed ever so briefly in the "Installing executables" section of the GNU libtool documentation .So far this has not caused a problem with GNU libtool on the platforms that PHP supports, but there is an alternate libtool implementation called slibtool that stores wrappers at the locations where PHP is expecting the true executables to live. As a result, the wrappers (and not the executables) are installed when slibtool is used to build PHP.
This is fixed by replacing
$(INSTALL)with$(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL)in the install-foo rules for the executables that are built with libtool.Targeting 8.3 since it's a bugfix, but not a hugely important one. Merging 8.3->master already has a merge conflict, albeit a trivial one.
