PQ62563: EAPI APACHE PLUGIN NEEDED FOR SLES L/390 (4.0.3)

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
Our team is currently involved in testing 4.03 on SuSE SLES
Linux 390. This testing is being done concurrently with the
4.04 release, as the customer who needs 4.03 on SLES 390 needs
it before the release of 4.04.

Basically, we need Apache EAPI plugin support to be rolled into
testing, ran into the problem that the Apache (1.3.19)
supplied with SLES 7.0 390 is EAPI compiled, and SLES lacks all
the necessary libraries to recompile Apache without EAPI
support, so there is no good way to get a NON_EAPI
enabled Apache on SuSE SLES 7.0. So, we need to be able to
support EAPI compiled Apache (specifically the one provided
with SLES).

Note: We tried pulling in the 4.04 EAPI plugin for L/390, and
it generated a seg-faulted.
