Now that's odd.  I built apr just a couple of weeks ago (part of
building subversion from ports) and it compiled okay on BeagleBone.

So this might be very recent breakage.

A few months back, I was able to self-host on the BeagleBone,
so our armv6 support was doing pretty well at that time.

I think that with the Clang and EABI switches, we've regressed
a bit since then.
