PHP will not compile with MongoDB driver

Question

So i'm trying to build PHP 5.5.9 with MongoDB driver 1.5 (i know, we're back in 2014!) but I'm running into an error when I run ./configure :

checking whether to enable MongoDB support... yes
./configure: line 59477: syntax error near unexpected token src/libmongoc/src/common/,'
./configure: line 59477:   PHP_MONGODB_ADD_SOURCES(src/libmongoc/src/common/, $PHP_MONGODB_COMMON_SOURCES, $PHP_MONGODB_BUNDLED_CFLAGS)'

It's as if there is supposed to be a function PHP_MONGODB_ADD_SOURCES that does not exist in the configure script... How do I fix this?

I'm running this on an AWS Linux AMI (not verson 2) so that I can create a php runtime for use with Lambda functions, and I need the mongodb driver compiled into it.

Here is all the commands i've used when i've ssh'd into a fresh instance:

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y \
   pcre.x86_64 \
   libxml2-devel \
   libmcrypt-devel.x86_64 \
   bzip2-devel.x86_64 \

   openssl-devel.x86_64 \

   libicu-devel.x86_64 \
   libedit-devel.x86_64 \
   readline-devel.x86_64 \
   git.x86_64 \
   php-devel.x86_64

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

curl -o php-5.5.9.tar.gz https://www.php.net/distributions/php-5.5.9.tar.gz
tar xvzf php-5.5.9.tar.gz
cd php-5.5.9

As a quick-and-dirty work-around you could try replacing the missing-dependancy-function "PHP_MONGODB_ADD_SOURCES" with "PHP_ADD_SOURCES" in the file mongo-php-driver/config.m4

Here's the rationale:

PHP_MONGODB_ADD_SOURCES is defined in the file: scripts/autotools/m4/php_mongodb.m4
All that function does is some input validation and then calls either PHP_ADD_SOURCES or PHP_ADD_SOURCES_X on the same inputs. These functions appear to have sources from other dependencies that may exist.
The "_X" version appears to be less common. So simply find-replace PHP_MONGODB_ADD_SOURCES with PHP_ADD_SOURCES in config.m4
