On my side, I tried to compile older versions of GCC, which failed with
the error stating that some features were not supported in C99 mode.
This led me to looking in this direction, and I found that passing the
-std=gnu89 option passed to cc make things much easier.
I could compile the static Apache with no problems. Now I'm working on
the Apache+mod_perl, but first had to reinstall a Perl compiled with
this option as well.
