Good grief! Back in '06 and '07, where I worked, I had to build php because it didn't have mcrypt support by default. They *still* don't, at this late date?
I'm sure that there was a valid reason for this changelog entry from php53-5.3.3-1.el5_6.1.src.rpm but as the referenced bugzilla tickets are restricted I can't say what that reason might be. Intellectual rights issue with one of the included crypt schemes, perhaps?
