Comment:

 Hi, sorry for the delay. Though it may or may not have functional
 consequence, it does raise a flag when looking at your phpinfo()—finding a
 configure option that, at least on first glance, would have linked to no
 resource. Assuming that this configure setting has no negative effect, it
 ends up being misleading as a clue when troubleshooting other problems.
 The reason I bring this up is that when troubleshooting a problem I was
 having with my cms (based on php/mysql), this caught my eye, and I ended
 up spending time looking into it when, in the end, it was not an issue.

 There may be a very good reason for the approach you took, but if there's
 an equally effective alternative (that doesn't cause the confusion
 mentioned above), I'd humbly suggest using the alternative. For my own
 purposes, I changed the port as I'd proposed with this patch and all
 builds and functions without issue.

 Thanks for your consideration!
