If you're still interested you could copy paste the errors.
Many years ago I had no problems linking fcgi-test.cpp

It's far much reliable to start external clients than to rely on
running anything inside of any server (php included). All depends on
the task. If you want something rock solid - do not run it inside of HTTP 
server.
Apache itself has many subtle problems with threads, forks, DOSes, I/O read 
writes,
keep alives etc.

We've been using Fast CGI servers for years and years, it's a
very reliable and fast solution.

If you're using fastcgi or scgi correctly you never have to handle
the low level underling protocol. Everything is the same as you're using CGI
application. You just don't have to forget that you're running a
service or daemon it never quits.
