Version of OpenSSL may be too new. Download the source for apr and apr-util from the official website and extract to a folder such as /usr/src. Try compiling Apache with the following to verify if your version of openssl is good or even an issue:
./configure --with-apr=/usr/src/apr-1.6.3 --with-apr-util=/usr/src/apr-util-1.6.1
make
make install
