Openl2tp 1.8 (latest version) depends on rpcgen features not available on all systems (e.g.: the "-M" option).

From the ​man page

-M     Generate  multithread-safe  stubs  for  passing  arguments   and
       results  between  rpcgen-generated  code  and user written code.
       This option is useful for users who want to use threads in their
       code.

In OSes with a more complete rpcgen (example: Ubuntu 10.04), openl2tp 1.8 builds with no problems.

For more info about this problem see ticket #9179
