Wrong apr_off_t type makes mod_mono build fail on 32bit archs

I've recompiled successfully mod_mono on FC development x86_64, but the very same source package fails on i386 with : [...] configure:21429: gcc -c -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -I/usr/include/apr-1 -I/usr/include/httpd conftest.c >&5 In file included from /usr/include/httpd/ap_config.h:25, from /usr/include/httpd/httpd.h:43, from conftest.c:51: /usr/include/apr-1/apr.h:270: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'apr_off_t' [...] Which makes it fallback to apache 1.3 when trying to detect the apache version (which is 2.0 obviously). That line reads "typedef off64_t apr_off_t;" which apparently 32bit gcc doesn't like. Changing the type made the detection work, and the build to succeed, but I'm not 100% sure the type I've set is correct.
mod_mono needs to use `apr-1-config --cppflags` etc in CPPFLAGS etc, or use apxs, otherwise it won't pick up necessary flags like -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.
Indeed, that was the problem, as compilation works after changing that in configure. Thanks a lot!
