The problem is Perl's Configure/Config.pm stores $Config{'cc'} as 
something like "cc -n32" and mod_perl makes sure httpd is built with
$Config{'cc'} so all Perl-ish things are happy.  I could have
Makefile.PL chop it up, but that would be messy.  CC='$(CC)' would be
the simplest workaround, it can't hurt any can it?
