Can't get it to misbehave at all this morning, even in a new scratch directory, with the old config.nice! I recall the message being the auto-detection failure to find a zlib, and went away when I copied ap_zlib_base to ap_cv_zlib in the $with processing. Still no idea what was happening, but I guess I was fooled by the apparent behavior and the whitespace in the generated configure.
