gak, I don't know what I was thinking saying that.  it's obviously time for
the weekend :)

anyway, I tried with perl-5.8.5 and it works fine for me.  the only thing I
can suggest at this point is to look at lib/Apache/BuildConfig.pm and see
what options it is picking up.  Perl_sv_2pv_flags is defined in embed.h,
which on my 5.8.5 is in

  /perl/perl-5.8.5/lib/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi/CORE/embed.h

so I grep for that base directory and find .../CORE in MODPERL_CCOPTS,
MODPERL_LDOPTS, and MODPERL_LIBPERL.

so, see what you find.  Tom might be right, you might be picking up remnants
from an old perl install or something.

HTH
