As a starting point, you're telling it to build for Apache 2.0, not 2.4.
Fix that and see what happens. I'd also scour the config log and make sure
it's using the Apache dev files you want it to. Probably making sure the
built-in httpd-dev module isn't there would be good.

As a rule, don't build from source. Install RPMs for everything but the SP
part and then use rpmbuild to rebuild the RPM against your Apache. The
wiki has some material on that I think, as does the list archive.
