With no mpm-* USE-flag set, do you see either of these messages when you try emerging: einfo "No MPM style was specified, defaulting to mpm-prefork." einfo "Threads specified without a mpm-specification, using mpm-worker."
Yes, I get this message: "No MPM style was specified, defaulting to mpm-prefork."
what version of bash are you running? bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.16(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. (I think I'm up to date for 'stable' gentoo)...
Hardly an expert, but after hacking at it a bit, it appears that the mpm environment variable is being set in 'setup', but when compile is invoked, it's been "cleared", or lost. I added 'select_mpms' right before the configure and things seemed to do much better.
I have hopefully fixed this with apache 2.0.58 (as I couldn't reproduce it, I can't test it). Please see if this version resolves the issue for you.
