Just found this:

Following unknown configure options were used:

--with-xml
--enable-mbstr-enc-trans
--enable-versioning
--with-zip
... in my easyapache verbose build log and after a bit of digging found that 5.2.x has a number of flags that have either been deprecated or altered.

I know EA3 is due out soon but right now this appears to be breaking the existing easyapache build and could use fixing.
