It's been so long since I installed 1.3 that I forgot: you can't mix and match the src/Configuration and ./configure method of configuring apache. If you use ./configure, you need to actually set the environment variable EXTRA_CFLAGS (or just CFLAGS) to -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE in your shell before running ./configure. (Alternatively, you can edit src/Configuration.tmpl.) The reason is that the ./configure script overwrites src/Configuration with default values before it begins. But again, you shouldn't be doing this. It's a "bad idea" (tm).
