"Safe mode" is useless. Suhosin is a useful patch/extension combo.
How about adding it to the script?

Since custombuild doesn't build extensions, only one flag would be required
suhosin_patch=yes

Then a simple if block would unpack the patch and apply it.
The only "catch" is that custombuild has to fail in case the patch doesn't apply cleanly.
 
It was in our future plans, however not implemented yet, because we would have to wait for new suhosin releases after any new release of PHP (that wouldn't let us add PHP updates instantly).

Fair point, although it's usually possible to just apply the old patch.
 
Suhosin patch can be an option. Who wants to use it, can wait. Others would update PHP immediately.
 
And usually PHP versions are released once every 6 months, so the patch could be disabled by an admin for a week while he waits for the updated version to get released.
