That's the same error, so that means it's more or less workable. You're
using the wrong apxs option, it should be --with-apxs24.

I'll review the configure messages to see if they're improvable, or you
can file a bug so I remember to check them.

I wouldn't really advise using a custom OpenSSL. While that gets you more
features it also means you're stuck keeping it up to date. Is there some
reason you're doing that?
