This patch will solve ./configure error "/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format" that you encounter when you want to compile apache on 64 bit linux
If you have a 64 bit machine like I do, and you want to build a 64 bit apache, then you must first patch apache source, because there is a bug that fails apache to compile on 64 bit machines. You must apply this patch to your apache source
Go in the "httpd-2.2.6/srclib/apr-util" directory and apply it with "patch -p1 < apr-util_2.2.6.patch"
cd httpd-2.2.6/srclib/apr-util patch -p1 < apr-util_2.2.6.patch
Delete ./configure scripts, apache configure and apr-utils configure
cd /home/source/httpd-2.2.6 rm configure rm srclib/apr-util/configure
Then, rebuild the configure scripts
./buildconf
Add "--enable-lib64" to your configure and you are ready to compile. For details on compiling apache / updating whithout downtime, click here
./configure --prefix=/home/web/apache --enable-so --enable-rewrite --disable-cgi --disable-cgid --disable-autoindex --with-mpm=worker --enable-nonportable-atomics=yes --enable-lib64 --libdir=/usr/lib64 && make && sudo make install

Yet i still have a problem with it after
