I used follwing command to confiure the apache:

./configure CC="gcc -maix64" CFLAGS="-maix64" CXX="gcc -maix64" CPPFLAGS="-maix64" NM="nm -X64" AR="ar -X64" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/ccs/bin/ld" --prefix=/usr/local/share/bld/apache2 --enable-ssl=shared --with-ssl=/usr/local/share/bld/ssl --enable-deflate=shared --with-z=/usr/local/share/bld/zlib --enable-mods-shared=all --with-expat=builtin --with-pcre=/usr/local/share/bld/pcre --with-included-apr --enable-v4-mapped

The above command executed successfully. While executing the make command follwing error is reported:

bison -pap_expr_yy --defines=/usr/local/share/bld/httpd-2.4.3/server/util_expr_parse.h -o /usr/local/share/bld/httpd-2.4.3/server/util_expr_parse.c /usr/local/share/bld/httpd-2.4.3/server/util_expr_parse.y

/usr/local/share/bld/httpd-2.4.3/server/util_expr_parse.y:28.2-4: parse error, unexpected "identifier"
