Right you are! I was only considering the basic svn build. Its
unfortunate that apsx doesn't support this to give packagers a break.

If you give an option to gnu make to force it to keep going in spite of
problems (-k), and don't run make install as root, then it may be
possible to see which problems require a manual fix. It may be that
only the Apache modules/config have this problem.
