Which extensions?
I run RT with a SunStudio compiled Perl. RT has many CPAN dependencies.

Make certain your custom built perl and Apache apxs are ahead of Sun's
in your path.

Your Apache should be built with the same compiler options as your
Perl.
modperl will segfault if 32-bit Perl and Apache don't similarly have
support for largefiles.

Happy hacking!
