Hmm OK, probably overridden by AC_CHECK_FILE(/dev/zero)...

Right, and that's because AC_CHECK_FILE() does not work when cross-compiling.

Inconsistent :/
I can think of two ways to fix it:
1. don't check for /dev/zero for PROC_PTHREAD capability,
2. don't try to use PROC_PTHREAD by default when cross compiling.
We could do #1 if all unixes had /dev/zero, which I'm not sure of.
With #2, the default when cross compiling on linux-like target would
probably be SYSVSEM, but forcing with "./configure
apr_lock_method=USE_PROC_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE ..." is still possible.
Does not look insane or too much to ask, to me...
So attached patch is #2, better ideas?
Regards,
Yann.
