Description

ATM distro builders need separate build pass to build apache2handler because of php.m4 macro PHP_SELECT_SAPI

It was discussed in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52419 but somehow it still disallowed

If I wanna add ZTS variation to Alpinelinux looks I need to build it all 4 times... maybe there's workaround?

Research direction

Start by reading build/php.m4 around lines 843-859 and the PHP_SELECT_SAPI macro. Understand why apache2handler currently requires a separate build pass, using the linked historical discussion for context. Done means distro builders can build apache2handler alongside other SAPIs without separate passes.
