Follow-up Comment #1:


The problem happenes then the apxs tool (of the apache package) is called.
The apxs tool is responsible for the installation and activation of  httpd
modules; while installation can be relocated correctly, activation is
implemented by direct editing of the configuration file (httpd.conf). 

If not considered, this causes an issue when relocating the installation
using INSTALL_ROOT (input is not found, and there is no way to specify an
alternative output channel).

I'll work on a fix to submit to the PHP project.
If you want a workaround Right Now (TM), you can remove the "-a" option
during configuration using the attached patch, to be applied from the top
source directory of PHP, using:

patch < filename.diff

Note that this means that you should enable the installed php module in
httpd.conf yourself!
