Problem compiling mod_perl 1.23 on Solaris 2.4

[Steve Hay]

Hi,

I'm having a problem compiling mod_perl 1.23 (with Apache 1.3.12 / Perl
5.6.0) as a DSO using APXS on Solaris 2.4.  This worked fine using
Apache 1.3.6 / Perl 5.005_03 / mod_perl 1.22.

Can anybody help?

I built the Perl with "-Uusemymalloc" which I had found was necessary
under the previous setup.

Here's the output:-

radsun2-4% perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1
WITH_APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1

In case anyone is interested...

I've solved my own problem (just as well, really).  If I re-compile
everything with the -Xa compiler flag then it all works out fine.

what does -Xa mean?  gcc or ld flag?  i don't see anything in the gcc
manpage, 2.6 ld manpage says:

  Options No Longer Supported
 The following SunOS 4.x.y options do not have  any  replace-
 ment in this release: -B nosymbolic (this is now the default
 if -B symbolic is not used), -d, -dc, and  -dp,  (these  are
 now  the default; see -b above to override the default), -M,
 -S, -t, -x, -X, and -ysym.

maybe that means -Xa is on by default in newer solaris?

-Xa is a Sun WorkShop Compiler C 4.2 option,
 -X[a|c|s|t]
  Specifies the degree of conformance to the ANSI C stan-
  dard.  Specifies one of the following:

  a (ANSI)
   ANSI C plus K&R C compatibility  extensions,  with
   semantic  changes required by ANSI C.  Where K&R C
   and ANSI C specify  different  semantics  for  the
   same  construct,  the compiler will issue warnings
   about the conflict and use the ANSI C  interpreta-
   tion. This is the default compiler mode.

The machine I was building on was Solaris 2.4 with the Sun Compiler v3.0
in which the cc manpage says "-Xt" ('transition') is the default.  I
also have a Solaris 2.6 machine with the Sun Compiler v4.0 which says,
like the snippet above, that "-Xa" is the default.
