I imagine that if you download and install the source RPM for PHP from Red
Hat, then you should be able to compile your extension against that source
code, without having to recompile PHP itself.

Certainly I have downloaded and compiled PHP extensions from PECL and I
didn't need to recompile the whole of PHP.
