[4.4.1] Compile libphp4.so from src w/o apache src?

Hello, I was running php 4.1.2 that came with my Linux distro a while
back (RH7.3 RPM, Kernel 2.4.20-20.7) and I wanted a newer version so I
download the src tarball from the web and compiled it and it looks like
that well, as I have the new one in /usr/local/bin (the old binary is
still in /usr/bin until I have the new one working with my apache) :

$ php -v
PHP 4.4.1 (cgi) (built: Dec 13 2005 20:32:47)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies


My question is, how can I compile a libphp4.so for use with my apache.
My apache is of a special configuration, so recompiling is not an option
(it was made available as an RPM when I obtained it some time ago, so I
don't have the source.)

Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 configured

The INSTALL file that came with the tarball wasn't very helpful in this
regard. It seems to make sense to me that one should be able to simply
compile the libphp4.so separately and add it to the modules for apache.

Thanks for any help
