apache2 fails to cross build from source. Let me explain the individual
subproblems.

 * The build dependency on the host architecture perl conflicts with the
   essential build architecture perl. It turns out, apache2 wants to run
   perl during build, so it actually needs the build architecture perl.
   Annotating the dependency with :any fixes that.

 * ./configure fails finding .pc files, because it uses the build
   architecture pkg-config. It should be using AC_PATH_TOOL (or better
   PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG) rather than AC_PATH_PROG.

 * Fixing configure.ac does not influence the build as ./configure is
   not built from source. dh-autoreconf fixes that.

 * Finally, the build fails running ./server/gen_test_char. It should be
   built with the build architecture compiler, but the build system is
   incapable of doing so. The mailing list suggests just compiling and
   running that file ahead of the actual build.

After applying the attached patch, apache2 cross builds successfully.
Please consider using it.

Helmut

   [ Laurent Bigonville ]
   * Enable systemd module (Closes: #860087).
   * debian/apache2ctl: Fix the restart and greceful when using system.
     When apache is not running and restart or greceful is called, apache
     was running in the user cgroup and system was be confused
     (Closes: #927302).
     This will also avoid to leak fd to apache
     (Closes: #713967).
