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)

Riproduci il problema utilizzando la configurazione della pull request 153 di static-php-cli su macOS arm64, quindi esamina l’invocazione di libtool mostrata nel report e il modo in cui crea libphp.a. Il lavoro è completato quando una libphp.a compilata staticamente che contiene estensioni come ext-curl o ext-sqlite3 viene collegata correttamente senza dover estrarre e ricreare l’archivio.
