How is that going to get the files to the target and set them up. Even
assuming you have an image mounted locally, the paths would be messed
up. Or am I missing an assumption?, something is not making sense.

I took a look a busybox, but I couldn't find reference to php.

Apache compiles fine (with the known problems in make, which were easy
to get around). The configure in PHP breaks every time. It refuse to
run in a cross compile environment, with the following output:
"configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling"
I've tried several ways to get around and/or debug this, all to no
avail.
