So, unless I'm mis-reading you, the issue can be summed up with "you
can't build it static", right?

I happen to build shared normally, but I'm running a build now to see
how it goes for me....
<time passes>

It seems to work fine, for me.

Are you running the latest rrdtool?
Here's my config:
Apache HTTPd v 2.0.53
PHP v5.0.3
RRDTool v1.0.49
and this is on Red Hat Linux ES3

And my process is this:
--------------------
#(this is pseudo-scripting, obviously)
##Apache 2.0.x:
# get it, untar, cd into its directory
export CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -pipe -s \
 	-fomit-frame-pointer"
make distclean
./configure --enable-so --enable-rewrite --enable-speling \
 --disable-userdir --enable-http --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-http \
 --enable-unique-id --enable-usertrack --enable-headers \
 --enable-mime-magic --enable-mem-cache --enable-disk-cache \
 --enable-cache --enable-deflate
make
su -c "make install"


## PHP 4.x/5.x
# get it, untar, cd into its directory
make distclean
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
 --with-mysql=shared,/usr --with-mysqli --with-gdbm --enable-dba \
 --with-flatfile --with-gd --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib --with-readline \
 --with-snmp --enable-mbstring --with-bz2 --with-gettext --enable-bcmath
make
su -c "make install"

cp php.ini-recommended /usr/local/lib/php.ini  # or get another
					       # one you like
# make sure the extensions directory listed in php.ini
# (/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-XXXXXX) is correct


## RRDTool
# get it, untar, cd into its directory
make distclean
./configure --enable-shared
make
su -c "make install;make site-perl-install"
cd contrib/php4
ln -s `pwd` /usr/local/kits/source/php-x.x.x/ext/rrdtool
cd /usr/local/
ln -s rrdtool-1.0.xx rrdtool


cd /usr/local/kits/source/php-x.x.x
rm configure config.cache
export CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -O2 -pipe -s \
 -fomit-frame-pointer"
./buildconf --force
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
 --with-mysql=shared,/usr --with-mysqli --with-gdbm --enable-dba \
 --with-flatfile --with-gd --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib \
 --with-rrdtool=/usr/local/rrdtool --with-readline --with-snmp \
 --enable-mbstring --with-bz2 --with-gettext --enable-bcmath
make
su -c "make install"

# make sure your php.ini is correct (make install can break it,
# apparently)
