Don't know about this one.

You can overwrite files, or remove files and make symlink to new
installation. Or, you can recompile Apache...

Easiest to do. You can make interbase.so from PHP sources. I have found
two ways of doing this, both work. Here's what I use:

a) go to ext/interbase directory in PHP source tree. Run:
phpize
./configure
make
make install

And you should have interbase.so in modules directory (IIRC)
