As I said, I guess I'll try that, but I have several problems with RedHat's
Apache/mod_ssl RPM. First, I have many scripts which depend on Apache being
in /usr/local/apache which is not where the RPM puts apache. Second, and I
can try this and find out, I don't know whether I can build other apps as
DSOs for Apache if I install from RPM. Do you know? I need to be able to
install custom-built DSOs like PHP and mod_perl and others as I want them.

Is installing an SRPM an option here? I've never done this, and I'm not sure
how to. I am assuming that SRPMs just install the source and then you
configure/compile the source yourself. This would solve my problem of
needing the RPMs installed for RPM dependencies in other apps I need.

I built mod_ssl according to the instructions. I'm not sure you mean about
not needing to install the openssl or mm libs. When configuring mod_ssl and
apache, I've tried using installed system libs and libs in their source
trees. Neither got rid of the segfault when installing apache. *This* is my
problem.
