As expected, this breaks source compatibility, as defined by the APR versioning guidelines. The fact that you need to patch httpd to make httpd continue to build seems like ample demonstration that source compatibility is broken ;) So it's 2.x material, and because it's 2.x material the DSO stuff is unnecessary, the LDAP code can simply be moved into a separate library.

APR makes no contract to export ldap_*, only apr_ldap_*.  The rest are all
assumptions and happy circumstance.  Reasonable people can disagree with
our assertions, so let's vote...

removing -lldap -llber from ./configure --with-ldap builds into a seperate
recoverable ./apu-1-config --ldap-libs flag;

 [ ] Breaks our versioning contract
 [ ] Does not break our versioning contract
