Hello, I may be wrong but the above explanation sounds as if the build process may include some static libraries (APR) into a shared library (log4cxx). Isn't that wrong? Static libs are usually compiled without -fPIC, which is, AFAIK, required for object code that goes into shared libs on at least some platforms. See for example this discussion: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2002/03/msg00172.html D.
