Seems to me like you forgot to make clean before rebuilding stuff. A few
folks reported in the past that starting from clean tar solved their
problems.
As for the APACHE_SRC, the scenario you have described can only happen if
you provided invalid APACHE_SRC paramter. Here is the relevant snippet
from Makefile.PL:
for $src_dir ($APACHE_SRC, <../apache*/src>,
<../stronghold*/src>, </usr/local/stronghold*/src>,
"../src", "./src")
{
next unless -d $src_dir;
next if $seen{$src_dir}++;
next unless $vers = httpd_version($src_dir);
unless(exists $vers_map{$vers}) {
print STDERR "Apache version '$vers' unsupported\n";
next;
}
$mft_map{$src_dir} = $vers_map{$vers};
#print STDERR "$src_dir -> $vers_map{$vers}\n";
push @adirs, $src_dir;
$modified{$src_dir} = (stat($src_dir))[9];
last if $DO_HTTPD;
}
If $APACHE_SRC is defined correctly relative to mod_perl src tree, the
'for' loop goes thru only once.

The bad thing is that you report about a potential problem, but don't stay
with us to follow up. So I thought twice before replying to your email,
since I feel that I talk to the wall until before you come back from your
vacation...
Enjoy the vacation :)
