This makes no sense. Where do you get the .so file and the headers you will
undoubtedly also need?

Also, having to put php in the middle of this sequence is ugly, to say the
least.

I'll be curious to see how we are going to have to manage a build system
like this with buildfarm - it sounds like it will make life more
complicated, but maybe it will work. Certainly it will make us have to use
more conditional logic.
