In my original email to dev@svn in response to Garrett's commit, I
hinted at the problem.
To be more specific, the problem is that the symbol top_builddir
is now substituted by autoconf 2.53 and overrides our definition
of that symbol (which is stored in the make variable top_blddir).
However, autoconf makes top_builddir blank when srcdir==builddir,
but APR's build system relies upon top_builddir (via top_blddir)
to always be defined.
This screams like an autoconf bug, but they keep changing their
output parameters from one version to another. Perhaps we need
to always prefix our substituted variables with ap_/apr_ (for
httpd/apr)? I'm fed up with these changes. -- justin
