Invalid library on macOS when compiling libphp statically

Description

When building PHP as a static library for macOS, the resulting libphp.a file cannot be linked and the following (weird) error occurs:

ld: warning: ignoring file /usr/local/lib/libphp.a, building for macOS-arm64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-arm64

The problem only occurs if at least one extension depending on another static library has been compiled (ex: ext-curl, ext-sqlite3...). The linking is done correctly if it's not the case, or if there are dependencies to shared libraries.

Extracting the .o file from the archive and recreating it using ar also fixes the issue:

mkdir /tmp/php-o
cd /tmp/php-o
ar x /usr/local/lib/libphp.a
ar rcs /usr/local/lib/libphp.a *.o

I suspect that it's related to libtool, and specifically this line:

The problem can easily be reproduced using static-php-cli: https://github.com/crazywhalecc/static-php-cli/pull/153

PHP Version

PHP 8.2.9

Operating System

macOS 13.4.1 (M1)

Reproduisez l’échec en utilisant la configuration de la pull request 153 de static-php-cli sur macOS arm64, puis examinez l’invocation de libtool indiquée dans le rapport et la manière dont elle crée libphp.a. Le travail est terminé lorsqu’une libphp.a construite statiquement contenant des extensions telles que ext-curl ou ext-sqlite3 se lie correctement sans avoir besoin d’extraire et de recréer l’archive.
