Additional information:
When trying to make the mod_webapp.so, on a Solaris 2.6, this error is prompted:

make[]: Entering directory "lib"
make[]: Invoking "make  build"
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 92: Macro assignment on dependency line
Current working directory /opt/apache/libexec/webapp-module-1.0-tc40/lib
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `template'
Current working directory /opt/apache/libexec/webapp-module-1.0-tc40
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `lib-build'

Try Installing a newer version of the 'make' program for your OS. I'm running 'make-3.76.1' with solaris 2.6-sparc.
I believe that newer versions of 'make' undertand this form of macro assignment.
