I should never have to specify libgcc.a to link something.  That seems somewhat 
absurd that I would have to manually include the compilers helper library into 
a program I just finished building.

Even if you did include it in the previous version, it shouldn't need to be 
there.

The more important question is, why does the __ucmpdi2 symbol show up only with 
3.22.XX builds of mod_auth_mysql ?

Besides, when linked with libgcc.a and a 3.22.XX libmysqlclient Apache will 
segfault within libperl.a (called by mod_perl.so).  When linked with 3.21.32 
Apache is perfectly happy to let mod_auth_mysql and mod_perl co-exist.

FWIW, mysql-devel-3.21.32a-1.i386.rpm and mysql-client-3.21.32a-1.i386.rpm do 
not contain a private copy of libgcc.a  (I just redownlaoded and verified that 
neither contains the lib).

Yes.

3.22.20a.src.rpm + mysql.index500.patch

I'm using your RPM, your spec file, so no .so is generated.

2.0.7-19 the latest for RH 5.1

I have recompiled all of it on the machine in question.  Apache, MySQL, 
mod_perl, mod_auth_mysql.  About the only thing I haven't compiled is Perl but 
I see no need because it works otherwise.
