1.3.29 on 2.8?  So you're clearly not using the standard distro then; as 
I recall, that was 1.3.26, and didn't include libssl.so.

I built 1.3.28 for our 2.8 system a while back, using the WO 451 gcc.  
[A useful trick here: remember to supply the -nopdolib compiler/linker 
flag; then the output binaries won't contain a reference to the dynamic 
library for ObjC; then you don't need to tinker with LD_LIBRARY_PATH in 
order for what you've built to run.]

Are you sure you are starting the httpd you think you are?
Are you sure the httpd is loading the mod_WebObjects.so you think it is?
If you're using a different apache, based on the stock adaptor 
sources -- did you alter the adaptor project's make.config etc to point 
at the apache headers, APXS tool, etc, for your 1.3.29 installation 
rather than the stock 1.3.26 one?
