The big question is why compile radius from source? If you use the
Debian package for Freeradius, this is mostly done for you.

Because for licencing reasons the packaged version does not have SSL support, thereby ruling out EAP-TLS and other certificate-secured authentication methods.
Radius is typically used for securing wireless or VPN connections, and 
the normal security measures for these technologies is good. Pretty much 
the only reason for going to Radius is to use certificates, and then 
probably only for wireless as VPN systems usually have certificate-using 
modes, though they may not be as convenient for central administration 
as Radius.
