When installing executables that were built using libtool, we are supposed to use

$ libtool --mode-install <install-command>

rather than the bare <install-command>. This is discussed ever so briefly in the "Installing executables" section of the GNU libtool documentation .

So far this has not caused a problem with GNU libtool on the platforms that PHP supports, but there is an alternate libtool implementation called slibtool that stores wrappers at the locations where PHP is expecting the true executables to live. As a result, the wrappers (and not the executables) are installed when slibtool is used to build PHP.

This is fixed by replacing $(INSTALL) with $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL) in the install-foo rules for the executables that are built with libtool.

Targeting 8.3 since it's a bugfix, but not a hugely important one. Merging 8.3->master already has a merge conflict, albeit a trivial one.

Closes:

The CI fail is apparently unrelated, there are similar failures in other PRs, e.g. https://github.com/php/php-src/actions/runs/13055452548/job/36425257936

This patch looks sensible to me, but my knowledge about autotools is limited. Maybe @petk can have a look?

The CI issue is indeed unrelated, and has been fixed in the meantime (see #17669).
