src/helpers/binbuild.sh
Hello,
The following patch helps "src/helpers/binbuild.sh" to build a much
smaller tar.gz file. The current size is hundreds percents bigger than
after the patch. Let me know if there is any consideration against it
(the lines beginning with "+ " may be broken):

In addition, it will be very useful and flexible to add
"$XTRA_CONFIGPARAM_FLAGS" to the definition of "CONFIGPARAM=" (line
10); It will allow builders to add their own special build flags
without modifying src/helpers/binbuild.sh.

I'll second that.

Your patch essentially eliminates the source tree from the binary
tarball, right? The source is included on purpose; and yes, this has
been argued back and forth before. The anti-includers think it's a
waste to bundle source for people who will never use it; the
pro-includers disagree.

If special flags are required to make a build complete properly, they
should be put into Apache proper, so that people compiling from source
don't have to worry about them. In any other case, all that would
serve to do is reduce the consistency of the binary builds, so I'm
against it.
