Solaris 9 / modssl-2.8.22-1.3.33 problems

Hi modssl-users,

I'm having trouble building mod-ssl with Apache on Solaris 9, and have 
run out of ideas.
I've been building Apache/mod-ssl happily for the past few years 
(although I claim no expertise in the matter), most recently having 
built this exact software combination on Solaris 7, which is running 
quite happily.
However, we feel the need to upgrade from the aging Solaris 7, but the 
build is not working.

Versions of things:
  OpenSSL 0.9.7e
  Mod-SSL 2.8.22-1.3.33
  Apache 1.3.33
  Solaris 9 SPARC (64-bit)
  gcc 3.4.2 (from www.sunfreeware.com)
  GNU ld 2.11.2 (again, from www.sunfreeware.com)
  flex 2.5.31

Summary:
It seems from http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=18986&tstart=15 
that this was a problem with 2.8.17,  fixed in 2.8.18 with a sed command 
on line 244 of apache-1.3.33/src/modules/ssl/Makefile:

242: ssl_expr_scan.c: ssl_expr_scan.l ssl_expr_parse.h
243:         flex -Pssl_expr_yy -s -B ssl_expr_scan.l
244:         sed -e '/$$Header:/d' <lex.ssl_expr_yy.c >ssl_expr_scan.c 
&& rm -f lex.ssl_expr_yy.c

This fix isn't working for me; the generated ssl_expr_scan.c errs at 
line 1900:
gcc -c  -I../../os/unix -I../../include   -DSOLARIS2=290 
-DMOD_SSL=208122 -DEAPI -DUSE_EXPAT -I../../lib/expat-lite `../../apaci` 
-fPIC -DSHARED_MODULE -DSSL_COMPAT -DSSL_ENGINE 
-I/apache/openssl-0.9.7e/include -DMOD_SSL_VERSION=\"2.8.22\" 
ssl_expr_scan.c && mv ssl_expr_scan.o ssl_expr_scan.lo
lex.ssl_expr_yy.c:1900: error: parse error before numeric constant

Line 1900 of ssl_expr_scan.c is:
YY_BUFFER_STATE ssl_expr_yy_scan_string (yyconst char * str )

# make && make install

Workaround tried:
ssl_expr_scan.c:

+YY_BUFFER_STATE ssl_expr_yy_scan_string (yyconst char * str_state )

Makefile:
ssl_expr_scan.c: ssl_expr_scan.l ssl_expr_parse.h
        #flex -Pssl_expr_yy -s -B ssl_expr_scan.l

Any ideas gratefully received; I'm beginning to doubt my sanity :-)
