I finally got a version of PHP with Interbase included, but I am not sure why it works versus using rpmbuild. Here is what I did:
Using the php-4.3.9-3.15.src.rpm and running
# rpm -i php.4.3.9-3.15.src.rpm
I now have php-4.3.9.tar.gz in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. This is copied to /tmp and untarred. Moving to php.4.3.9-3, I run
# ./configure -with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird
After a # make, I have interbase.so in the modules directory. This is copied to /usr/lib/php4 and I create a interbase.ini file in /etc/php.d that has a line, "include=interbase.so".
That is it...long way around, but gosh darn, it works!!! Honestly, I am not sure of exactly what I did (at least I am not able to translate everything into what I do daily with Windoz and Delphi). I am sure some C++ experience would help me.

I want to be able to recompile php, so I downloaded the src dvd and did a
rpm -i php-4.3.9-3.15.src.rpm
After doing that I wanted to check to see if I can recompile it before making changes. So, I went to the SPECS dir and did a
rpmbuild -i php.spec
It spent a lot of time doing the compile, but at the end there were errors.
What am I missing?
