Answering (hopefully) my own question now, having done some research I came up with this:
Code:
apxs is a tool for building and installing extension modules for the Apache HyperText 
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. This is achieved by building a Dynamic Shared Object 
(DSO) from one or more source or object files which then can be loaded into the Apache 
server under runtime via the LoadModule directive from mod_so.

So to use this extension mechanism, your platform has to support the DSO feature and 
your Apache httpd binary has to be built with the mod_so module. The apxs tool automatically 
complains if this is not the case. You can check this yourself by manually running the command

       $ httpd -l

The module mod_so should be part of the displayed list.
I presume my Apache server isn't configured in this way, so what are the implications for implementing this or should I be raising a ticket now?
