apr fails to cross build from source for most architectures:
| checking for robust cross-process mutex support... configure: error: in
`/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/build':
| configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
Usually, I'd consider this an aspect of the builder, but apr is unique
here in that its debian/rules has its own ideas of what that check
should return even natively. I therefore propose updating debian/rules
to also supply the value for cross builds. Do you agree? I'm attaching a
patch for your convenience.
