(All the below tests are with dynamic Perl.)
OK, what if you take the original (with dynamic perl) and replace
-L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE -lperl
with
-Wl,-L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE -Wl,-lperl
Same problem.
What if you add -Wl,-i to the original command?
Works!
Cool. Each platform has a totally different linker flag to postpone symbol resolution :(
Also, for comparison purposes, here is the gcc that succeeds for the mod_perl/Apache build, along with the corresponding gcc that fails for the mod_perl/SSL/Apache build (per my original post: this problem only occurs when attempting to build with both mod_perl and SSL):
mod_perl/Apache (success):
gcc -funsigned-char -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -DHAS_FPSETMASK -DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H -fno-strict-aliasing -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci` -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a modules/perl/libperl.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a -lcrypt -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE -Wl,-E /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE -lperl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
mod_perl/SSL/Apache (failure):
gcc -funsigned-char -DMOD_SSL=208115 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -DHAS_FPSETMASK -DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H -fno-strict-aliasing -DEAPI -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci` -L/usr/lib -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a modules/ssl/libssl.a modules/perl/libperl.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a -lcrypt -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE -Wl,-E /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE -lperl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
I think I know what your problem is. The failing command includes: -L/usr/lib, so it finds /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 instead of /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-freebsd/CORE/libperl.so. I bet that if you remove temporary /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 it will just work.
