+=head2 mod_perl 1.3 Doesn't Build With -D_GNU_SOURCE
+
+In Linux, building mod_perl with B<threaded> Perl 5.8.0 does not work
+because starting from 5.8.0 building a threaded Perl uses the
+-D_GNU_SOURCE flag. The Apache 1.3 sources that are built alongside
+the mod_perl don't like that flag and the compilation dies because of
+function prototype conflicts. This may or may not get fixed in later
+releases of mod_perl 1.3 or Apache 1.3 (fixing the problem in Perl is
+less likely since threaded Perl now needs the -D_GNU_SOURCE>).
+Workarounds include using non-threaded Perl and using Apache 2.0.
+An obvious workaround would be to stop the -D_GNU_SOURCE from reaching
+the Apache 1.3 sources, but as of Perl 5.8.0, the complex build system
+of mod_perl has foiled this idea.
