It is a simple edit to the debian/rules file to fix the compile option for 
LFS in the source package, then just rebuild. The same goes for 1.3 
really, but I'm not sure it is a quite as obvious edit to debian/rules.

I'm running a 32-bit OS on it, which actually proved more stable because 
the LFS support on 64-bit apache seemed buggy (I was too stressed out with 
the release to properly investigate and submit a bug though). That's the 
reason why the http offloaders for the i386 stuff ran apache 1.3, not 2.0.
