I was afraid this might be the problem based on your original report
and since as I mentioned originally there were no code changes between
3.1.1 and 3.1.2 on the build code that could explain this.

3.1.2 was bootstrapped with newer/different versions of the autotools
that are used for all releases (the ones provided by CentOS 4) though
and that is where this aclocal.m4 comes from.

another workaround (and the one I was testing in CentOS 5 x86_64) was
to remove the 32bit version of libraries which conflicted :

  # rpm -ev expat-devel.i386
  # rpm -ev apr-devel.i386

for this to work you need to have automake installed, and will basically
force a rebootstrapping of the package using it (hence also require libtool
and the other packages required for bootstrapping like autoconf).

instead of removing aclocal.m4 you can explicitally rebootstrap if that
is the case by running :

  # autoreconf

note taken by adding it to the release notes :

won't be a problem for 3.1.3; promise.
