I use to run into a problem similar to that.. I remember symlinking it
and reasoning that it was quite a cheap hack.. I don't remember who told
me or where I found out (Mark P?) but I started using the 
``--activate-module'' tag and stuff started working, so I became happy

=)

Here's a little snippet of a howto I've got stashed away

Cheers

      1.MySQL 3.22.32 

             1../configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql 
             2.make 
             3.make install 

      2.Apache 1.3.12 

             1../configure 
                      --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ 
                      --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \ 

      3.Mod_PHP 4.0.0 

             1../configure \ 
                      --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ 
                      --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 \ 
                      --enable-track-vars 
             2.make 
             3.make install 

      4.Apache 1.3.12 

             1../configure 
                      --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ 
                      --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \ 
             2.make 
             3.make test 
             5.make install 

Worked pleasantly on rh6.0, 6.1 and 6.2
