I suspect your distro is just too old for 2.3. Can you see if 2.2.36 works
better?

something in the autoconf config caused it to try to put auth and the
auth directory in the same local.. that should narrow the issue to a
couple of lines of config code.  I am not an expert in autoconf

There is limited amount of interest in trying to fix old operating systems,
unfortunately. Especially as there is no such thing as "couple of lines of
autoconf code".
