What is the current status of compilers for PHP 5.4?

I tried searching for simple compilers to obfuscate PHP source code by converting them to opcode. But it seems many are no longer in active development, e.g. PHC, bcompiler. HipHop developed by Facebook seems complicated and works only on a 64-bit OS. Then, there are others that requires .NET framework. Is there a compiler that works with PHP 5.4 installed on Linux?

Other forms of obfuscation that involves PHP function such as eval will make debugging complicated, so, I am not looking at those at the moment.

Some related questions I have looked into:
