The "Compilation failed in require" errors aren't seen once I do that;
however both in the original case and now, what actually terminates the
build is a segfault. I had perhaps erroneously assumed that this was a
direct result of the problem as originally reported.

ulimit -c unlimited; /usr/bin/perl /build/dom-libapache2-mod-perl2_2.0.5-4~test.1-i386-r33hy_/libapache2-mod-perl2-2.0.5/t/TEST -bugreport -verbose=0

using Apache/2.2.21 (worker MPM)

I'll retry that build manually and dig out the stacktrace when I 
next have a minute.
