Have you tried using gcc instead of Sun Workshop compiler?
ModSecurity's build system is not very portable across compilers yet.
And mixing compilers can also be an issue (if prereqs were compiled with

Yeah, "make test" only works on Linux with gcc/libtool right now.

It is because the first command should have created it ;)
