We had some trouble getting 2.3.12 and 2.3.13 to build on our old and
interestingly configured OpenSolaris machine, but 2.3.14 built OK. We
cannot test this still, because mod-auth-external [1] has not yet been
converted to the 2.4 AAA API. We've written its maintainer to see
whether there is work underway for doing that, maybe we even can help out.

In the meantime, thanks a lot for your helpful response!

If we progress further at this pace, we surely will have a solution
until 2.4 is out.
