Hi,

I'm trying to compile devel/subversion-base on AIX 5.1, which requires devel/apr 
to be installed.

The Makefile for devel/apr configures apr to use /dev/urandom as a source to its 
entropy pool, but there's no such device on AIX 5.1 (it only appears on AIX 5.2).

I've not checked yet, but the problem should also existe for Apache 2. The quick 
fix is to remove the 3rd line in the following declaration.:

APR_CONFIGURE_ARGS= \
         --prefix=${PREFIX} \
         --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom \
         --with-installbuilddir=${PREFIX}/libexec/apr

Bye,

Laurent.
