APR 1.4.2 is the latest available version

APR 1.4.2 has been released, and should be considered "general availability".

Fixed.

seemed like a good place to post a bug.

Generally having issue with apr and libtool in this new version.

It seems to be a similar problem to bugs 264250 and 204485.

In the ebuild for 1.4.2 it has code to force the use of the system libtool instead of the libtool bundled with apr

# Make sure we use the system libtool.
sed -i 's,$(apr_builddir)/libtool,/usr/bin/libtool,' build/apr_rules.mk
sed -i 's,${installbuilddir}/libtool,/usr/bin/libtool,' apr-1-config
rm -f libtool

using this it fails with:
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'


However, if those three lines are commented out and the bundled one is used, it compiles fine.

I'm not sure if others are having problems (it does on my two machines), but I was probably mask 1.4.2 until the system libtool is fixed or it is decided to use the bundled one.
