Isn't the correct solution to fix autoconf so it's
aware of z/OS? It doesn't seem right to have multiple
versions of a single function, but rather to have
one function that supports multiple platforms.
GNU autoconf for z/OS works fine, it just creates additional
complexity/challenges beyond the httpd 1.3 build system.
Same goes for libtool.
GNU libtool for z/OS doesn't work well at all, at least not for
building httpd-2.x. Sure, the ideal solution would be to fix it. But
it is GPLed which means that for all practical purposes, I can't work
on it. Even if I could, it is pretty complex and has more
functionality than we need/use for Apache httpd, and as far as I know,
lacks knowledge of z/OS things like exports files and how shared
objects work on this platform. So it was simpler for us to create our
own libtool tailored for httpd/apr.

Ah. OK. Thanks for that. I'll play around with that for awhile.
Would it be best to configure and make apr and apr-util
then use httpd configure with --with-apr=/usr/lpp/zApache ?
