[PATCH] apxs specifies apr ldflags when linking a DSO

[Jeff Trawick <tr...@attglobal.net>]

the problem to solve is that run-time linking is not enabled
for DSOs built with apxs+gcc on AIX...  somehow libtool does the
right thing with apxs+native-compiler, but a lot of folks are
trying to use gcc and don't know to add the right ld option to
the apxs invocation

adding apr ldflags to other flags when linking does the trick,
but I wonder what this might break or if there is a better way

We compile/link the rest of the server with these flags - makes sense to 
compile DSOs with the same flags.  +1.  -- justin
