It didn't help. Perhaps it's PHP us using internal headers but system
lib? Therefore it's compiling against a different version than it's

Dunno, not poked hard. I downgraded to the old lib and rebuilt locally
and it worked again.

Either way, removing functions without bumping .so major is a pretty big
ABI break....
