Building apr14 and apr-utils13.

[Steve Traylen]

I want to add activemq-cpp to to EPEL5 which has been requested a
number of times, this
requires a newer apr and apr-utils.

I've a sticky problem with apr apr-utils.

Work in progress is here.

http://cern.ch/straylen/rpms/apr14/

which  builds okay and well as a parallel package but I can't get it
past rpmlint.
In  particular apr14.spec I added

sed -i 's/-rpath//' $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/apr%{altver}-%{aprver}-config

to drop the "-rpath" from subsequent builds using apr14.

However apr-util13 then fails to build due to trying to install some
.la that are never created.

If I don't removed "-rpath" from apr14 then apr-utils13 builds okay
but contains an rpath in the
result.

If I could persuade apr-util13 to not even attempt to create the .la
files or at least not to install
them this would probably work.
