For me, it was a few weeks ago, when I posted the same question. :)

Same versions as me, except gcc is 2.95.3. :)

Same errors I get.

I treied everything I could think of too. I finally got it to work by adding
this to the Apache Configure command:

--disable-shared=perl

This will build a static mod_perl into your httpd binary, but keep everything
else DSO, since you have --enable-shared=max . I know it sucks, so that is why I
am sticking with perl 5.6.1 for the time being, as a mod_perl with that works as
a DSO on Solaris 8. :(
