When attempting to compile for static Apache use, the following problems occur:

[rick@prophead apache_1.3.12]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.12

It smells like the configuration doesn't properly set the "#define HAVE_GD_COLORRESOLVE 1" or something similar if you have libgd installed (I have gd 1.7).

Is this a known gotcha?  Do I have to upgrade to gd 1.8 to fix it?
