configure: error: Don't know how to define struct flock on this system, set --enable-opcache=no

I encountered these on a local system recently, a system where 5.5.12 had successfully compiled WITH opcache several weeks prior. One of the major performance advantages of the 5.5 generation is the opcache extension so disabling it was not an option. Long story short flock (file lock) structuring is passed to make by libtdl which is a part of the GNU libtool family and this info is required by the opcache extension to establish part of the memory mapping strategy during compilation. How these became lost or corrupted since the last install is a mystery, but I’m not Angela Lansbury and I need this to work because there is a particular LDAP related bugfix that may impact us so this is what needs to be done:

$sudo yum reinstall libtool libtool-ltdl libtool-ltdl-devel
