Installing mcrypt on Mac OSX (10.5) from PHP 5.2.8 source fails tests, what do I do?

So I'm trying to install mcrypt on my local for development. I've never compiled from source before, so please bear with me, but the short of what I've done is:

1. Download and install libmcrypt-2.5.8 (from source)
2. Download compiled mcrypt.so from http://www.viames.it/mac-os-x.html (note: the compiled gd.so seems to work fine)
3. Update php.ini (to include relevant lines)
4. Restart web sharing (apache); pages can't be loaded
5. Remove extension=mcrypt.so line and restart apache, pages load again)
6. Download PHP 5.2.8 source from php.net, and try to configure and install mcrypt from /ext/mcrypt

At this point, when I run make test, things fail.

Number of tests :   36                36
Tests skipped   :    0 (  0.0%) --------
Tests warned    :    0 (  0.0%) (  0.0%)
Tests failed    :   36 (100.0%) (100.0%)
Expected fail   :    0 (  0.0%) (  0.0%)
Tests passed    :    0 (  0.0%) (  0.0%)

Just in case anyway, I went ahead and did sudo make install, update php.ini, and tried to load pages. Pages loaded fine. I went to my phpinfo page, but mcrypt isn't shown there at all. I went back and forth on this a couple of times, but nothing happened still.

I'm confused about what to do now, as I'm not sure what I was supposed to do when the make tests failed, which is, I suspect, why my mcrypt isn't working at all (even if the .so file is there). I'm including the make test failed summary result below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
