I've noticed that too.
Apparently, the expat lib in apr isn't supposed to be used directly, so
the apr build doesn't export the expat functions.
I had to make some major adjustments to my build scripts to make this
work again.

Not sure how to do this with the svn build system, but basically what
you need to do is to force the expat library to export its function even
though it's built and linked by apr-util.

zlib 1.2.5 doesn't include the gvmat32.asm file anymore, so you need to
skip that build step and use the gvmat32.c file instead.
