1. php5 is one of the packages that takes the longest to build. It currently takes an entire hour. If we were to rebuild everything when doing the cgi build it would take two hours. As a developer working on the package, waiting an entire hour for the entire build to finish is more than enough.
2. Your problem seems to stem from the DISCARD_PATH setting. From configure's output:
  --enable-discard-path CGI: If this is enabled, the PHP CGI binary
                            can safely be placed outside of the
                            web tree and people will not be able
                            to circumvent .htaccess security

...so it sounds like we definitely want DISCARD_PATH to be set to 1.

Could you be a tad more specific about what your actual problem is? I mean, rather than telling us how you think we should fix it, show us precisely what doesn't work.
