Disclaimer: this bug has been filed in a semi-automated manner. When emerging the package www-servers/apache-2.2.23, the following elog messages are displayed: * * Selected default threaded MPM: worker * * Please note that you need SysV IPC support in your kernel. * Make sure CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y is set. * * Attention: cgi and cgid modules are now handled via APACHE2_MODULES flags * in /etc/make.conf. Make sure to enable those in order to compile them. * In general, you should use 'cgid' with threaded MPMs and 'cgi' otherwise. Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install. These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows: if ! has_version 'www-servers/apache'; then See the tracker bug 440214 for more details.
That comes from eclass: elog "Attention: cgi and cgid modules are now handled via APACHE2_MODULES flags" elog "in make.conf. Make sure to enable those in order to compile them." elog "In general, you should use 'cgid' with threaded MPMs and 'cgi' otherwise." Probably, as the behavior is that for so long time, they could simply be dropped
