Not sure if this answers your prob at all - but it may help 
keep things apart in the future and avoid any other conflicts.

Would it be a better option to compile each version of PHP 
(and any other compiled software, including different 
versions of Apache (http, https)) into it's own subdirectory 
under /usr/local?

That way you will have the previous version for reference 
purposes, and also as a 'fallback' untill you have your 
latest version up and running? These are the main reasons I 
like to compile php and apache myself. It's handy just 
copying the configuration files from the old version across 
to the new version, without messing up the previous 
version's installation.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.5

I would be inclined to do a 'make clean' in the php-5.2.5 
source dir, and try again with the above installation 
prefix. See what that does.

Can you do a clean compile without building the php-cgi 
module? If so this may give you a clue where the problem is.
