You're probably right.  The build directory only includes the apr
generated libtool and apr-rules.mk which seems to contain compile time
information for the apr Makefile.  I don't see a useful reason for
them to be installed.

OK, attempt #2.  You can control where the build directory goes with
--with-installbuilddir.  If you really don't want it, and you don't
mind where subversion installs the apr files by default, try
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-installbuilddir=/usr/share/apr/build
or wherever you want the directory.
