Technically apr-util, not apr.

The way dynamic linking works in Debian and other ELF / glibc platforms
is that apr-util does _not_ link to sqlite 3.3.8 specifically, but to
the first "libsqlite3.so.0" found at runtime. Thus it is a question of
library search path order. And sqlite 3.5.9 still uses the SONAME of
"libsqlite3.so.0".

What you need, then, is to install your newer sqlite in /usr/local/lib,
which will be searched before /usr/lib, or put it elsewhere and include
an "RPATH" record in your binaries. Which libtool should take care of,
when it pulls in a library from a non-default location. Then apr-util
will effectively link to that copy as well.

You can use 'ldd' to verify that the runtime linker finds and loads
libraries in the desired order.
