Shared core is no longer supported upstream in Apache 2.0; this change is too fundamental to make for the 1.3 packages and I don't see a good justification - why does Kylix require a shared core for Apache modules it creates?
I don't think the change is very fundamental at all, it's one line in the .spec file and doesn't affect how apache is stopped or started. Kylix needs it because the apache modules it generates want to link against libhttp (or whatever it is). Why they did it that way I don't know. If as you say Apache 2.0 can't do that I guess the Kylix folk will rethink anyway.
