Hello Stuart,

Maybe this is a good news for you.
I had same trouble as yours of "make" of PHP5 with Firebird.
But I got successful, autogen.sh & ./configure & make.
I rewrite head part of autogen.sh, libtool to glibtool.
# line 17 & 21

and copying header files to /usr/include

I didn't use "make install" or other install shell scripts.
some files in (current directry of build)/gen/firebird/lib to
/usr/lib and modifing libfbclient.dylib as symbolic link.

and adding these files to
/Library/Framework/Firebird.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/lib
# I don't know need or not.

I got PHP5 with Firebird on Mac OS X already now.

I use following configure options.

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
--with-interbase=/Library/Framework/Firebird.framework/Versions/
Current/Resources

My hope is Default installer of Firebird for Mac OS X will have these
settings.

good luck!
