i think most of us agree, that the mysql extension definitely does not
need X libraries...

and php4-core does not have this wantlib (and that's right, it shouldnt)

well, i am no objdump guru, but looking at
/usr/ports/www/php4/extensions/Makefile

the first WANTLIB is
WANTLIB= crypto gssapi krb5 m ncurses panel ssl z

and than depending on the extension value the others are added.

i am not a FLAVOR/MULTI_PACKAGES guru either but my guess is,
that at some point of the bulk build X11 and Xpm are appended
to WANTLIB and than not removed or "reset" to the basic ones
at the other/remaning FLAVORS which don't need them...
that would explain the postgresql extension having
them as well. and e.g. -gd is sooner in the makefile than -mysql or
-pgsql.

but the packages system is just a too fast moving target for me to keep
up with, so maybe this is rubish ;-)

but as you are the listed maintainer in this particular makefile ;-)
please have a look at this issue....
