The reason is probably that Apache is built with Sun Studio compiler 
and as the result configure script of this module is using options for 
Sun Studio which are unknown to gcc. I doubt this module is written in 
portable C but you can try. Download Oracle Studio 12.3 from Oracle, 
export CC variable to path to Oracle Studio cc and try again. The other 
option is to hack configure script to not use options from apxs
