Result: FAIL
Failed 14/248 test programs. 0/2237 subtests failed.
This missing 'perl_module' symbol is mod_perl itself, so this means
APR.so can only be loaded from inside mod_perl:
% perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch -MAPR -e1
Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/APR/APR.so' for module APR:
blib/arch/auto/APR/APR.so: undefined symbol: perl_module at
/usr/lib/perl/5.18/DynaLoader.pm line 184.
at -e line 0.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
The problem comes from src/modules/perl/modperl_apache_includes.h:
#if !defined(MP_IN_XS) && AP_MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST(20100606, 0)
APLOG_USE_MODULE(perl);
#endif
where APLOG_USE_MODULE(perl) expands via /usr/include/apache2/http_config.h to
extern module perl_module; static int * const aplog_module_index =
&(perl_module.module_index);
At -O2, this is optimized away when it's not used, but -O0 keeps it.
Defining MP_IN_XS for the APR (and APR/PerlIO) build seems to help.
I was able to get the test suite pass at both -O0 and -O2 with the
attached patch.
It seems possible that other parts of xs/ are affected too but aren't
exercised by the test suite.
The history of MP_IN_XS is just
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1410295
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=68792
but it does look like the correct solution, one way or another.

Subject: [PATCH] Define MP_IN_XS to avoid referencing &perl_module outside of
mod_perl
APLOG_USE_MODULE(perl) expands to
extern module perl_module; static int * const aplog_module_index = &(perl_module.module_index);
which makes loading APR.so impossible outside mod_perl unless
aplog_module_index is optimized away by the compiler.
This causes mod_perl test suite failures in t/apr-ext at "gcc -O0".
