As a person who was very active in APR until about a year ago, I can
answer this. APR works on any platform that uses POSIX without issues.
It also works on any mainframe from IBM and Windows. There used to be a
bunch of people working on making it work on VAX, and I believe that it
does, but you would need to check. The only one I'm not sure about is
HP Nonstop. I would bet that it does work, but you probably would have to
build it and check.
Just before I left the APR team, I was working on getting the test suite
to the point that a user could run make test, and see very easily if APR
was supported on that platform. To the best of my knowledge, that work
hasn't been finished, but you should get a pretty good idea of how much
work you would have by just running make test on the APR code.
