What is it about 4.11 vs 4.9 with regard to this issue? Just that it's an up-to-date release. PHP and its extensions do depend on bits of the base system. You are using the very latest ported version, so far as I can see, with an out of date world. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html says: The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection. Over time, changes to the ports collection may rely on features that are not present in older releases. Wherever convenient, we try not to gratuitously break support for recent releases, but it is sometimes unavoidable. When this occurs, patches contributed by the user community to maintain support for older releases will usually be committed. Peter. Peter.
