I can confirm this problem, by the way.  I spoke to pgollucci about it
many weeks ago.  I spent literally days trying to track down the source
of the problem (including reviewing all the shell code in the configure
script, etc.), and it really looks to be an autoconf bug.

The workaround?  Simply run "make clean ; make" over and over
until the configure phase works.  Yes, really that is the solution at
this point in time.

Whatever this problem is, is almost certainly the same issue plaguing
the PCRE inclusion bits too.  It really needs to get hammered out; the
Apache port is too important to be in a state of disarray like this.
