For those interested, here's how I got it to work:
Platform: RedHat Linux7.0
OS: Linux 2.2.19
Apache ver: 1.3.19 (w/SSL 0.9.6a-2.8.3)
Apache Dir: /var/lib/apache
Conf dir: /etc/httpd/conf
TOMCAT_HOME: /usr/java/tomcat
Dowloaded apr and apr-util from cvs.
Configured both with:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-DEAPI \
--libexcdir=/usr/lib \
--sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf \
--disable-threads
Configured the connectors directory:
./configure --prefix=/usr
--enable-DEAPI \
--with-apache=/usr/sbin \ (apxs lives here)
--with-apr=/usr/java/apr \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf
NOTES: I had to manually copy APRVARS from the apr directory to the
apr-util directory to get apr-util to compile without complaining.
I had to disable threads to get 'apachectl configtest' to stop
complaining about 'apr_pthreads'.
Other than that it compiled without any warnings, and apache had no
problems loading it.
