No ideas guys?
What I could figure out is that the spec file is not the problem, it's 
somehow my build environment. If I use the centos-testing repo for php 
everything works fine, if i rebuild the srpm from centos-testing.. the error 
appears again..
I tried building both "manually" and from mock. Same sad result on both 
cases.
