I built this on a machine Apple set aside for apache.org use; it's a
stock system 10.0.3... I haven't installed anything extra. I used that

Yeah, this one has me pretty dumbfounded. I'd expect a gcc bug to
cause greater damage than that, though. Plus the same compiler builds
perl 5.6 OK... I dunno.
