The patch referenced, works on 1.6.1, its the same patch IIRC being 
applied by RedHat, is applied by PV at Slackware, and probably Debian 
too because modern (past few years of apru using *sql) wont build 
otherwise.

The "comment linked" indicates you yourself applied this to 1.7 trunk 
for APRU, I'm dismayed you didn't apply it to 1.6 line as well if its 
still supported, apr/apru devs may all run trunk version, but the 
general-populaces do not, they tend not to run "alphas or betas" in 
production networks :)

I'm at a loss to comprehend the project is about to release a new APRU 
after 5 years or so that is still so outdated its pretty much useless to 
all current supported recent distros because it wont build without them 
patching what should be patched here two years ago or so.
