I tried to reproduce this issue on debian stretch, but it worked just fine. I suspect your distro is just too old for 2.3. Can you see if 2.2.36 works better?
something in the autoconf config caused it to try to put auth and the auth directory in the same local.. that should narrow the issue to a couple of lines of config code. I am not an expert in autoconf

There is limited amount of interest in trying to fix old operating systems, unfortunately. Especially as there is no such thing as "couple of lines of autoconf code".

That is perfectly understandable.
However, there should be interest that ./configure doesn't contruct a make file which steps on itself which is a condition that should never happen. Autoconf tools are supposed to handle these problems. It should compile from Slackware to Gentoo to Red Hat Enterprise. At the end of the day, they are all posix compliant systems.
make install tried to first make a file called auth and then tries to use the same location on the file system to make a directory. That is a fixable bug.
