I think he's building the 0.10.2 tarball, that's the one that has the
single argument apr_brigade_create.

Nearly :-) The problem is that he has an APR library that is *newer*
than the tarball, and that is getting used instead of the one bundled
with the tarball. The new APR has the two argument apr_brigade_create.

However the solution is the same, he needs to remove the already
installed apr so that the one bundled with the tarball is used. If
this is not feasible (no root privs, server needs APR, etc.) then a
little 'surgery' on the configure file could be used to force the
bundled APR to be used.

Given that apache-2.0.35 is "the best currently available version",
according to the apache website, perhaps we should release a new
tarball that works with it.
