Thank you for the suggestion.  I just now got all the RPMS to work
though :)  I guess simply (and finally!!!) rebuilding everything was
sufficient to make the interaction between apr-util and libiconv work.

For the "-module" issue, I got it to do what I wanted by supplying a
command string for module_expsym_cmds that excludes the "ar" step and
setting module_cmds=":", and then adding a couple of kludges:


        # Get the real and link names of the library.
        eval shared_ext=\"$shrext_cmds\"
        eval library_names=\"$library_names_spec\"
        set dummy $library_names
        shift
        realname="$1"
        shift

>>>        test "$mode" = relink && realname="$libname.so"

        if test -n "$soname_spec"; then
          eval soname=\"$soname_spec\"
        else
          soname="$realname"
        fi


and

        # Make a backup of the uninstalled library when relinking
        if test "$mode" = relink; then
          $opt_dry_run || eval '(cd $output_objdir && $RM ${realname}U
&& $MV $r
ealname ${realname}U)' || exit $?
        fi

        # Do each of the archive commands.
        if test "$module" = yes && test -n "$module_cmds" ; then
>>>          library_names="$libname.so"
          if test -n "$export_symbols" && test -n "$module_expsym_cmds";
then
            eval test_cmds=\"$module_expsym_cmds\"
            cmds=$module_expsym_cmds
          else
            eval test_cmds=\"$module_cmds\"
            cmds=$module_cmds
          fi
