Hi Günter, I thought this is a new issue introduced in apr-1.5.0, but it turns out this functionality was passed along from httpd and the problem is most probably well-known to many of you.
Please note that not only GNU build is affected. This issue unfortunately needs to be addressed for each build system separately. If someone asked me regarding a possible solution, I'd prefer to have 'apr_escape_test_char.h' pre-generated in the tree for all the operating systems under the 'arch' directory respectively. This would need to be done by the maintainer once in a while and seems to me much easier/cleaner than having 'gen_test_char' integrated into the common build routine.
