$ ls -la /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90072 2006-11-17 12:34 /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so
$ file /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so
/usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, 
version 1 (SYSV), stripped

It is taken from rpm from PLD .spec [1] file.

%build
%{__aclocal}
%{__autoconf}
%configure \
        --with-apxs=%{apxs}
%{__make} dso

Linking patch [2] seems to be used also ...
