If I remember well, ":=" is supported only by GNUMake... and changing
the above statement to use "=" won't work because the old value of
CFLAGS is reassigned to itself.  I'll file a bug in bugzilla about
fixing the makefiles so that they don't rely on GNUMake features, but in
the meantime your can either install GNUmake or edit the statement above
to be:

CFLAGS = -O2  -Wall -DCOMPILE_DL=1 -DPHP4 $(MS_DEFINE) $(MS_INC) \
         $(PHP_INC)
