It turns out that memory gets consumed and not returned back to the
system independent of httpd (the oom-killer just strikes there first).

On an FC2/x86_64 system (Tyan S2880 with one processor only) with
untained 2.6.8-1.521 on 1GB RAM simple compilations can eat up all the
memory. I trimmed down such a system up to basic networking to detect
which processes were locking the memory, and no userland processes are
holding the memory. But almost all memory is flagged as "used" (with
negligible size of buffers and cache).

Is this a kernel memory leak? Any other information I should collect?

(I still cannot judge whether the change from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 or the
architecture change i386 to x86_64 is responsible for this due to lack
of different combinations)
