This cannot work. You cannot intermix Debian packages of Apache (which have no
EAPI compiled in as I guess) and mod_ssl.

Ops, the error message is incorrect, of course. Seems like I've cut & pasted
too much inside the configure script. Fixed for 2.1.6. The new and correct
error now is:
``Error: Installed Apache doesn't contain Extended API (EAPI)''

This cannot be fixed until our Apache 1.3.4 is released. Because 1.3.3's apxs
program has no knowledge about the renamed program name. In 1.3.4's apxs there
mod_ssl can use "-q TARGET" to get the name.

Then you have to use SSL_BASE=SYSTEM as it's documented in the INSTALL file.

That's because your Debian-package-based Apache doesn't contain the EAPI
stuff. ap_hook.h is part of EAPI.

Sure, I compiled it successfully on one of my boxes which runs Debian 1.3.1.
But you have to start with a fresh Apache source tree at least once to get an
Apache with DSO+EAPI support.

Yes, sorry. But because of the crypto-hook-problematic you have to at least
once install a patches Apache. Then you can upgrade easily with APXS.
