I don't think this is bogus.

My mm configuration:
Compiled and installed mm library:
cd mm-1.1.3
./configure --disable-shared
make; make install

Configure mod_ssl:
cd ../mod_ssl.xxxxxxxx
EAPI_MM=../mm-1.1.3 \
./configure \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.20

Configure and install Apache:
cd ../apache_1.3.20
EAPI_MM=../mm-1.1.3 \
INCLUDES=-I/usr/include/db1 \
LIBS=-ldb1 \
./configure --prefix=/www/apache \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-module=ssl \
--enable-module=rewrite \
--enable-module=info \
--enable-module=auth_db \
--enable-shared=auth_db \
--disable-module=auth_dbm \
--disable-shared=auth_dbm 
make; make certificate TYPE=custom; make install

Configure PHP:
cd ../php-4.0.7RC2
./configure --with-mm --with-apxs=/www/apache/bin/apxs
make

And now new and improved with the error output from the compile:

It was marked as bogus since you were doing it wrong
and thus asking support question here. And because I can't
reproduce this. :)

Have you tried with fresh sources? ie. get net tarball,
extract it and do './configure --with-mm --with-apxs...'

Also, it seems more like a problem in the compilation
of MM itself. Why do you disable the shared build for it?

--Jani

I compiled mm with --disable-shared at the suggestion of the mod_ssl INSTALL doc.

"Do not forget the --disable-shared option above. Else you've to establish an explicit LD_LIBRARY_PATH which include the /path/to/mm-1.1.x/.libs directory or the compilation of Apache will fail because the shared library cannot be found."

I recompiled mm with just ./configure and no --disable-shared option and the PHP compile didn't fail.

I assume anyone else that follows the instructions I listed in this report will have the same problem. I don't know if that changes the bug status or not.
