I could sure use a way around the strange error I get when trying to update devel/apr on 7.4-STABLE FreeBSD

I think the issue is not apr it's apr-util (both are build togehter in apr1)

To verify this.

edit the apr1/Makefile so it looks this

around line 241:
do-build:
        cd ${APR_WRKDIR}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE}
#       cd ${APU_WRKDIR}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE}


Then use the commands

$> make configure
 If you see no error, then
$> make

I suspect also here no errors, now change this lines to

do-build:
#        cd ${APR_WRKDIR}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE}
       cd ${APU_WRKDIR}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE}


delete only the file .build_done.apr._usr_local
$> rm work/.build_done.apr._usr_local

and fire the command
$> make

If the build breaks here it is the configure script of apr-util.
Maybe the configure script finds some leftover libs.

# head -n 9912 work/apr-util-1.3.12/configure | tail -n 10
fi

        as_ac_Lib=`$as_echo "ac_cv_lib_${ldaplib}''_ldap_sslinit" | $as_tr_sh`
