... and it only seems to break on some platforms, like e.g. Darwin. On 
Linux and Solaris it builds without actually using the wrong paths. From 
configure.in:

case "$host_alias" in
     dnl ### BeOS requires that ALL symbols resolve at LINK time!
     dnl ###�
     dnl ### So, if we're building on BeOS then we need to add in the
     dnl ### apr and expat libraries to the build or it'll die a truly 
horrible
     dnl ### death. We now use the apr-config tool to determine the correct
     dnl ### library to link against :)
*AIX*|*Darwin*|*BeOS*|CYGWIN*)
     dnl need such stuff as -liconv to be specified when building 
libaprutil.la
     EXTRA_OS_LINK='$(APRUTIL_LDFLAGS) $(APRUTIL_LIBS)'
     ;;
*)
     ;;
esac


That logic is really weird, those very general Linker flags should be 
used on most *nix platforms. Historically it was only there for BeOS, 
then added because of libiconv for AIX, then Darwin was added and 
everything was unified for BeOS and finally CYGWIN was added ...
