apache 2.0.45, mod_perl 2.0 (1.99-X), anyone?

[Carl Brewer <carl_(_at_)_bl_(_dot_)_echidna_(_dot_)_id_(_dot_)_au>]

I've been trying to get mod_perl 1.99-current (and
08, and 07) to compile with Apache 2.0.4x (currently 2.0.45)
and am seeing problems at library link time on openBSD 2.9,
and I know the same problem is occuring with OpenBSD 3.2.

Before I flood the list with compiler mess, has anyone
here any interest in assisting the development
of mod_perl 2.0 for OpenBSD?

I'm using perl 5.8.0.

Does this look familiar to anyone? :

If anyone's interested, I can provide a lot more (necessary!)
information re how I'm trying to compile it, including the
perl config options etc ...
