not sure if there is a misunderstanding: SWIG can generate bindings for
all supported languages (which does not currently include PHP7)
regardless of configure arguments.
AFAICT you just passed --without-php to configure in the new SWIG
release. The resulting binary will still allow creating PHP bindings
(albeit broken).

So I don't see how this helps in the transition - looks like I am
missing something!?

which is why I uploaded 3.0.8 to experimental only to not disturb the
php7.0 transition hoping that upstream will update the PHP generation.
So, sorry. Just uploading swig dropping the php dependencies is
something I should have done to help I guess...

Greetings, Torsten
