I tried it and it failed in the middle of
misc/security_tips.tex file.

What I did was:

cd httpd-2.1/docs
cvs up
cd manual/build
cvs up
./build.sh latex
cd ..
pdflatex sitemap.tex

The error is:

[46] (./misc/security_tips.tex

I manually escaped first occurence of # character and ran
pdflatex again.  It says:

So it looks like my pdflatex doesn't like '#' in \href.

Running pdflatex --version says:

pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b
kpathsea version 3.4.5

Let me know if you need more information about my environment.

Yep, it's in the TODO list to figure out how to fix that.  The problem is
with the hyperref package.  The docs say that no escaping is required for
#, but, as you note, I can't currently get it to work with or without
escaping.

In the end, to get a working version, you need to hit q (for quiet) at
the errors and just let LaTeX happily ignore them.  I'm working towards
zero errors, but it might be a while before I get there.
