This is a bug in *both* of these PHP extensions: header files that are 
specific to individual PHP extensions should not be included by any code 
outside of those PHP extensions.  I seem to remember having looked at 
the Sybase module previously for just this reason; but either it was 
never fixed in PHP, or it's been broken again.

As a starting point, I would submit bugs against PHP for each of the 
broken extensions.  Hopefully, they have active maintainers who'll be 
able to help you with this problem.
