When I compile with MP_DEBUG=1 set the test reports this:
92021:/local/GML/install/apache2/bin/httpd: rld: Fatal Error: attempted access to unresolvable symbol in /local/GML/......../ServerUtil.so: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr
Please take a look at: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.html#_relocation_errors__or__undefined_symbol_
Is that the cause of the problem?
No - it isn't. I know that because the good(?) news is that I've found out what the problem is.
The symbol is in mod_perl.so, but is HIDDEN. This seems to be
because it has been obtained from a static archive (libperl.a). [NOTE: This last statement could be completely wrong - I'm basing this on a
quick perusal of man pages, not knowledge]
The solution (*very* basic at present) is to tell the loader to export symbols from libperl.a which it would otherwise hide. To do this I fished out the loinker command which produced mod_perl.so and added a "-exports" option immediatley before "-lperl" (this option only affects the next load).
Hardly a usable solution, but I'll see what I can do as far as automation goes...
Yes, it means that irix is a special case and needs to add this option. So you have most of it solved. Now please take a look at perl_config_lddlflags in lib/Apache/Build.pm, it should probably go there (make a special case for IRIX). A patch would be gladly accepted.
