top_dir in default Red Hat 8?

You need to install the httpd-devel package, e.g.

$ yum install httpd-devel

You then need to check where the "build/special.mk" file has been
installed. If that's not "/usr/local/apache2/build/special.mk" then
you need to pass the top_dir variable to "make" as you have tried
above, e.g.

$ make top_dir=/usr/lib/httpd/

BTW, I know this is far too late a reply for this enquirer but this
mail comes up high in Google searches so hopefully my reply will be
attached in the future and of some use to someone.
