Apache not building its own modules (e.g. mod_alias)

Hello list,

I wasn't exactly thinking things out, and just posted the following message to freebsd-ports, whereas it's probably better here. More eyeballs in any case. So sorry if you're seeing this for the second time.

I'm having great difficulty tracking what's going wrong here. I'm trying to build Apache 2.0 with the following:

cd /usr/ports/www/apache20
make PREFIX=/home/apache20 \
APR_UTIL_WITH_BERKELEY_DB=yes \
APR_UTIL_WITH_LDAP=yes \
WITH_MODULES="access alias auth auth_ldap headers info ldap mime proxy proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite status ssl" \
WITH_STATIC_MODULES="access alias auth auth_ldap headers info ldap mime proxy proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite status ssl" \

At the end of this, I get

# sbin/httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_auth.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_status.c
mod_info.c
mod_rewrite.c
mod_so.c

And no mod_*.so files created either. I can build some modules dynamically. For instance mod_access can, and I get a libexec/apache2/mod_access.so at the end. But some things just don't get built no matter what I try, such as mod_alias.

The lack if mod_alias, for instance, causes Redirect to go unrecognized in the config file, and so on.

I must be doing something wrong; any clues gratefully received.

update: what I do see, grovelling around in the work/ directory is that mod_alias and a number of other modules appear to be explicitly disabled in configure.log and never enabled, although make show-modules show that it has been specified as enabled. For instance:

(apache.port is just a wrapper around the above cd and make)

~/apache.port show-modules | grep enabled | sort -u
access: enabled (static)
alias: enabled (static)
auth: enabled (static)
auth_ldap: enabled (static)
headers: enabled (static)
info: enabled (static)
ldap: enabled (static)
mime: enabled (static)
proxy: enabled (static)
proxy_connect: enabled (static)
proxy_http: enabled (static)
rewrite: enabled (static)
ssl: enabled (static)
status: enabled (static)

Thanks,
David
