The difference is in the LoadModule directives
e.g.,
LoadModule authn_file_module libexec/mod_authn_file.so --> 32 bit
LoadModule authn_file_module libexec/amd64/mod_authn_file.so --> 64 bit

It is applicable to httpd.conf file. Other .conf files do not have 64 bit
specific
location settings.

This can be done by passing a configuration parameter during server startup.
e.g., apachectl can be modified to pass 64bit config parameter.
$HTTD -D64bit $ARGV
And httpd.conf file can be modified to include the 64 bit specific directives
only
when this parameter is defined.
e.g.,
<IfDefine !64bit>
LoadModule authn_file_module libexec/mod_authn_file.so
LoadModule authn_dbm_module libexec/mod_authn_dbm.so
LoadModule authn_anon_module libexec/mod_authn_anon.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine 64bit>
LoadModule authn_file_module libexec/amd64/mod_authn_file.so
LoadModule authn_dbm_module libexec/amd64/mod_authn_dbm.so
LoadModule authn_anon_module libexec/amd64/mod_authn_anon.so
</IfDefine>
This config parameter ( 64bit ) should be passed explicitly by the user if
64-bit "httpd" is
invoked directly (not through apachectl).
e.g., %> /usr/apache2/2.2/bin/amd64/httpd -D64bit -k start
I'm not aware of any other ways of handling this.
