Then ask these packagers what they did to their "Apache"s.

rpm has nothing to do with Apache.
This is a package maintenance system invented by some
*NIX packager - ask them why they claim Apache 1.3.26
to be needed.
(Maybe this is the only version they have tested?)

Don't use this broken "rpm" tool. If you want an Apache,
then install an Apache - not a RedHat or a Mandrake.
Use Apache's "configure", then "make" and "make install",
like explained in Apache's INSTALL file.

Then in your case PHP's own gzip library might possibly
be an alternative, although it would require you to
change the PHP source code of your application.
