Which requires you to build PHP.  PHP is only going to get built once; do you 
build with or without PostgreSQL client support?  As an RPM builder, you 
cannot build it one way, then rebuild it again another way.  It's not 
self-hosting at that point.

Then it can easily be a standalone project, and the issues go away.
