Corey Farrell commented on ASTERISK-27948:
------------------------------------------

I'm confused, the configure script has a check for {{linux/ixjuser.h}}, if not found it is supposed to disable chan_phone.  Is it possible you ran ./configure against kernel 4.16 then upgraded to >=4.17?  Please try running ./configure with the new kernel installed.  If this does not cause chan_phone to be disabled please attach the config.log and the full error message produced when chan_phone.c fails to compile.  My system is running kernel 4.18.10 and menuselect will not allow chan_phone to be enabled (due to missing ixjuser.h).

Also to expand on Kevin's comment, chan_phone is now deprecated in Asterisk 16+.  It'll be deleted at some time in the future.
