<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/UCH/GetCompatibleUIs$ /usr/local/[apache_home]/cgi-bin/uche?GetCompatibleUIs
  RewriteRule ^/UCH/GetResources$ /usr/local/[apache_home]/cgi-bin/uche?GetResources
  RewriteRule ^/UCH/GetDocument$  /usr/local/[apache_home]/cgi-bin/uche?GetDocument
</IfModule>

#
# Mod_fastcgi settings
#

Cross Compile and configure Apache

Following steps were performed for cross compilation for ARM GNU/Linux on i386 Linux PC; similar steps can be used for cross compiling for some other architecture:

Download Arm Linux GNU package from http://www.codesourcery.com
After un-tar of total package, add path using command
$PATH = ${PATH}:/opt/arm/bin/

"bin" directory is where g++ and all related things are present.
Give the following command to add the ranlib
export RANLIB="arm-linux-ranlib"
Change directory to the Apache directory and apply changes as mentioned at: See Tutorial
Apply the following command:
1. ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void=no ac_cv_maxsegsize=4096 CC=/opt/arm/arm-2005q3-2/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=arm-linux --build=i386-linux --prefix=/usr/local/armapache/ --enable=rewrite
2. make
3. make install
Now change directory to fastcgi folder and apply the following commands:
1. CC=/opt/arm/arm-2005q3-2/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ./configure --build=i386-linux --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-linux
2. make [APACHE_HOME]
3. make install
Make the changes in httpd.conf file as mentioned above.
