Compiling Apache (worker) on Solaris 10 u2 (a.k.a. 06/06)

When compiling Apache on Solaris 10u2 today, I was greeted by a since unknown error message:

Configure error: Please apply either patch #120664 (Sparc) or #120665 (x86).
Without these patches mod_cgid is non-functional on Solaris 10 due to an OS bug with AF_UNIX sockets.

So far, so good. I really forgot to apply that patch. However, with Solaris 10u2, you won’t be able to anyway. That’s because this patch was integrated into patch #118855-15. Which in itself isn’t bad either. It’s just that Apache’s configure script doesn’t check for that patch number (yet). So it’s “patch the Apache configure script” time again. Grmpf.
