It turns out we've been taking the documentation too seriously, and/or not understanding the Apache build process thoroughly enough. The setup program in the /dl directory of the PHP distribution states: If you are compiling php as a module, you should also add -rdynamic to the start of the EXTRA_LDFLAGS in apaches Configuration file. We did just that: we edited Apache's src/Configuration file. However, we were using the APACI build procedure, which means that src/Configuration isn't used -- src/Configuration.apaci was used instead. Jim Winstead pointed us in the right direction on this one. Thanks, Jim! If anyone is maintaining the /dl files these days, I think you'll spare some people time if you update the setup program so it recommends editing /src/Configuration.tmpl and then re-running the configure script in the Apache directory so that src/Configuration and src/Configuration.apaci are re-generated. Also, bug 1149 can be closed. Our $150 reward will be sent, with Jim's blessing, to the general PHP development fund.
