apache unstable with 5.1 packages on NetBSD 5.2

[Donald Lee <MacPPC2%caution.icompute.com@localhost>]

I am hoping for a little advice on how to solve a problem I've hit
while "practicing" for an upgrade of my production server.

I appear to have hit bug: lib/39986.  This is a problem with a weak symbol
getting called, and not satisfied when it should be.  The recent apache pkgs
have their modules loaded dynamically, and that seems to be triggering the
problem. ( apache 2.2.23 )

Is there a simple approach to fixing this that does not involve me rebuilding
packages from source or doing something unsupported?  I'd like to stick
with "standard" offerings from pkgsrc, if possible.

If I start looking in the builds of pkgsrc built on 6.0.x, where this problem
with the libraries are fixed, will I be begging for trouble?

According to the bug, this problem was fixed in Dec 2011 (I think).  It is
probably fixed in 5.2, but there are no pkgsrc builds on 5.2
that I know of.

One more data point: if I eliminate the mod_ssl from the apache config, the
errors go away.  This may be a fix, but does not leave be confident.

Advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
