[mod_python] Apache warning: this module might crash under EAPI!

I'm compiling Apache 1.3.14 w/ mod_so, mod_ssl, mod_perl baked in.
I want to add mod_python as a DSO. I had to recompile Python-2.0 without
threads since the BeOpen-Python 2.0 has threads turned on.

After compiling mod_python, editing httpd.conf, and restarting Apache, it
works, but Apache gives a warning:

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
[Mon Nov 13 00:29:45 2000] [warn] Loaded DSO libexec/mod_python.so uses
plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please
recompile it with -DEAPI)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd started

I searched Google, and found a guy who claims that this is an mod_ssl
related thing, and if the mod doesn't use ssl, I don't need to worry
about it (http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/97/2000/3/0/3511640/).

Is this true?

Is there a way to recompile w/ -DEAPI? Can someone explain, step by step,
how to do it?  (I'd rather not have to live with that warning...bugs me).

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. How I compiled mod_python:

[phil mod_python-2.6.3] $ pwd
/usr/local/src/httpd/mod_python-2.6.3
[phil mod_python-2.6.3] $ ./configure \
> --with-python=/usr/local/src/Python-2.0 \ 
> --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache.org/httpd/bin/apxs \
> --with-apache=/usr/local/src/httpd/apache_1.3.14
[phil mod_python-2.6.3] $ make dso
[phil mod_python-2.6.3] $ sudo make install
