Hello Pankaj,

please don't top-post, that is considered rude on this mailing list.

Thanks.  If I use the exact command sequence I posted above, then purify
is not used at all.  I falsely assumed that Apache would use Automake,
or a naming convention similar to what automake uses, in their
makefiles.

I've sent a patch to improve their build system upstream:
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47691>.
With that, you will be able to use the above command sequence.

For now, you can try
  ./configure --disable-shared CC='purify gcc'
  make clean
  make

and hope for the best.

Cheers,
Ralf
