Based on the comment that was attached to the bug I filed on this
there's an even easier option --disable-util-dso when configuring. I was
unaware this was disableable, but should have looked at the apr-util
configure --help.

That seems to be the simplest solution for bindist or otherwise
relocated apr/apache builds.
