I configured php 4.2.1 as a dynamic module for Apache 2.0.36 (./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --quiet) and proceeded to make and make install without problems.
After adding the proper entries to httpd.conf, I tried to start Apache and got:

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 230 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp4.so into server: dlopen: /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp4.so: symbol "__pthread_self" unresolved
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Exit 3

Here's some info from httpd:

I'm experiencing the same problem. The symbol "__pthread_self" unresolved error message.

I'm running Apache 2.0.39 and php 4.2.1 with a similar configuration as above (without the --quiet option).

the only way i have figured around this bug is to use the portable threading library (pth).

I figured out a nasty hack to fix this problem.  When I was building Apache2.0.39, I was assuming that pthreads were enabled.  After closer inspection, I realized that the configure was disabling threads in the APR.  The problem turned out to be a CPP/CC issue.  I changed a #error in pthreads.h to a #warning: #  warning "Please compile the module including pthread.h with -pthread"

Presto, the next time I ran configure for apache, it enabled threads in the APR which fixed all my php/pthread linking woes.    FYI, under DU5.1a, __pthread_self is defined in /shlib/libpthreads.so.

Solved!  See bug #19038 for details

simply 

     setenv CFLAGS -pthread

before configuring and making both apache and php

It worked with 
          apache-2.0.40
          php4-STABLE-200208220000

Bye bye
