Cannot compile apache with fips - apache

Question

I need to run apache in fips 140-2 mode and I am following the instructions given here: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/FIPS_Library_and_Apache
However I am using a newer version of apache, I have these packages instead of the ones listed in the wiki:
openssl-fips-2.0.16.tar.gz
openssl-1.0.2n.tar.gz
httpd-2.4.29.tar.gz
apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz
apr-1.6.3.tar.gz
pcre-8.41.tar.gz
Everything works fine until I attempt a make on the httpd package and it then fails. If I run a make without the two exports for the fingerprints, it completes without issue:
export CC=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/bin/fipsld
export FIPSLD_CC=/usr/bin/gcc
However as the wiki describes when you enable SSLFIPS in httpd.conf it will fail to start with the fingerprint issue without these variables set. But when I attempt to run a make with these exports I get the following error:
/root/httpd-2.4.29/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=link /usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/bin/fipsld -g -O2 -pthread -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -luuid -lrt -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl \

I'm no expert in compiling apache, so no idea why it fails when using those exported variables. Can anyone help?

After a lot of testing, the instructions seem to be working for the older versions, but for the newer version of apr and httpd the "--with-included-apr" appeared to be the problem.
Instead of using this, we built apr and apr-util first by its self, then ran the .config with "“-with-apr=/usr/local/apr/ -with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util/" instead. This allowed it to compile and I was able to set SSLFIPS on without issue.
